Description
All-weather self-adaptive aerial volume imaging and calibrating system and method Technical Field The invention relates to the technical fields of air display technology, unmanned aerial vehicle application and photoelectric engineering, in particular to an all-weather self-adaptive air volume imaging and calibrating system and method. Background With the rapid development of technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR), large-scale landscape lighting and air performance, huge visual presentation with sky as a medium has become an emerging industrial hotspot. At present, common aerial imaging technologies mainly comprise two types, namely a landmark type light column or pattern formed by irradiating atmospheric aerosol based on a ground high-power laser, and an aerial curtain wall formed by forming and mounting a smoke generator through unmanned aerial vehicle formation and matching with projection to realize image display. However, in practical engineering applications, the above-mentioned techniques still face a series of serious challenges: (1) The existing scheme is mainly a simple fixed ground projection and air passive viewing mode, the active regulation and control capability of dynamic space relation between a light source and an imaging medium is lacking, and particularly a mature air-to-air movement projection scheme is lacking, so that flexible and multi-angle air 3D display is difficult to realize. (2) The air imaging medium such as smoke, cloud layer, aerosol and the like has extremely strong instability, and can drift, diffuse and change shape under the influence of wind power, temperature, humidity and other environmental factors, so that the preset image has serious and time-varying geometric distortion and brightness attenuation. Most of the existing systems are open loop control systems, and cannot sense the state change of the medium in real time and perform dynamic compensation to correct the errors. (3) The all-weather operation difficulty is that the traditional vision calibration system is almost ineffective in the strong light environment in daytime, solar radiation floods the imaging light beam, so that the system cannot be installed and debugged or performed in daytime, and the all-weather application scene is limited. (4) The calibration means is lacking, and the traditional optical calibration depends on a high-precision physical checkerboard calibration plate. At the high altitude of hundreds of meters, a huge physical calibration plate cannot be hung, so that the spatial pose relation among the internal parameters, the external parameters and the dynamic medium of the projection system is difficult to accurately calibrate, and the imaging geometric precision is affected. In view of the foregoing, there is a need for an air volume imaging system that integrates projection, media sensing and feedback correction, does not rely on a physical calibration plate, and adapts to all-weather environments.
