Abstract


Abstract: Aiming at the problems in the traditional Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data acquisition and display system,  the data acquisition  from the limited sensors at the UAV cannot be transmitted back in real time, and the data acquisition  from the ground stations can only be displayed in two dimensional flat. The real-time common data transmission link technology of multi-interface sensor data was studied and the Raspberry Pi data acquisition and control hardware system based on the micro quad-rotor UAV was developed.   In addition, the automatic and manual three-dimensional (3D) route planning methods for the flight target areas were proposed, the UAV real-time data acquisition and display visualization system based on the 3D flight planning was developed and constructed.  Through the simulation test, the system verified the accuracy of 3D route planning control, real-time data acquisition and visual display, enhanced the portability and convenience of the system, and expanded the application scene.

Keywords: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), 3D route planning, real-time data acquisition, display visualization system
