Design and Implementation of UAV Intelligent Aerial Photography System

In order to improve system stability and reliability of UAV aerial photography, and get high-quality aerial images, this paper designed a UAV intelligent aerial photography system which can realize autonomous navigation. The system used STA3x, Russia flight control system, to build the UAV hardware system and design its program, the design process used a realistic physical simulation, combined with a UAV surveying and mapping company´s actual aerial operations, and applied the communications, intelligent photography equipment of independent designed. The semi-physical simulation, and up to 4 years of actual flight results show that the UAV intelligent aerial photography system is to meet the aerial needs of small and medium-sized UAV in a complex environment. The system is easy to operate, high stability, reliability, wide range of applications, and get high-quality aerial images with high-resolution, full color.
