CONTROL APPARATUS, BASE STATION, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111311 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, BASE STATION, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The control apparatus described in the patent application is designed to measure distances between a target object and a distance measurement device, set a flying route for a flying object based on the measured distances, and maintain pixel resolution of an imaging apparatus mounted on the flying object while capturing images of the target object.
- The processor rotates a distance measurement device attached to a rotational drive apparatus to measure distances at different locations of the target object.
- A flying route is set for a flying object to fly along the target object based on the measured distances.
- The control apparatus ensures constant pixel resolution of the imaging apparatus on the flying object while capturing images of the target object.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various fields such as surveillance, inspection, mapping, and photography.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately measuring distances to a target object and capturing high-resolution images while maintaining a consistent pixel resolution.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in distance measurements, precise flying routes for flying objects, and high-quality images with constant pixel resolution.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include aerial photography, agricultural monitoring, infrastructure inspection, and search and rescue operations.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be similar control systems used in drones or unmanned aerial vehicles for capturing images and measuring distances.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the control apparatus handle obstacles or changes in the environment while flying along the target object? 2. What are the limitations of the distance measurement device in terms of accuracy and range?
Original Abstract Submitted
a control apparatus includes a processor, and a memory connected to or incorporated in the processor. the processor is configured to rotate a distance measurement device via a rotational drive apparatus to which the distance measurement device is attached, measure a first distance between a target object and the distance measurement device at a plurality of distance measurement locations of the target object via the distance measurement device, set a flying route for causing a flying object to fly along the target object based on the first distance measured for each distance measurement location, and in a case of causing the flying object to fly along the flying route and acquiring a plurality of first images by imaging a plurality of imaged regions of the target object via a first imaging apparatus mounted on the flying object, perform a control of constantly maintaining pixel resolution of the first imaging apparatus.
