Aerial shooting method and system using a drone
First Claim
1. An aerial shooting system using a drone, comprising a ground station, a drone and a control device disposed on the drone, and the system further comprises a pan-and-tilt disposed on the drone and a camera disposed on the pan-and-tilt, wherein,the ground station is adapted to preset an aerial path, generate a first operation instruction based on the preset aerial path, and transmit the first operation instruction to the control device;
- the control device is adapted to control the drone to fly along the preset aerial path according to the first operation instruction;
the ground station is adapted to mark a plurality of waypoints during the flight of the drone along the preset aerial path, and transmit the plurality of waypoints to the control device;
the control device is adapted to plan a flight path based on the plurality of waypoints, generate a flight instruction based on the flight path, and transmit the flight instruction to the drone;
the drone is adapted to automatically fly along the flight path according to the flight instruction; and
the control device is adapted to control the pan-and-tilt and the camera to shoot during the automatic flight of the drone,wherein the ground station comprises a master remote controller and a slave remote controller, and remote control mode of the master remote controller and the slave remote controller comprises a dual control mode and a single control mode, wherein in the single control mode, either one of the master remote controller and the slave remote controller is in communication connection with the drone, the pan-and-tilt and the camera, and in the dual control mode, the master remote controller is in communication connection with the drone, while the slave remote controller is in communication connection with the pan-and-tilt and the camera, andthe ground station further comprises a switch, and in the single control mode, the switch is capable of being operated to disconnect the communication connection between the master remote controller and the pan-and-tilt and the camera, and establish the communication connection between the slave remote controller and the pan-and-tilt and the camera, so as to switch the remote control mode from the single control mode to the dual control mode.
