Abstract
[Object] To provide a control device which enables a flight vehicle device to obtain a highly precise image. [Solution] Provided is the control device including an illuminating control unit configured to adjust a light amount of an illuminating device according to an inclination of a fuselage of a flight vehicle device that has an imaging device configured to photograph a photographing target and the illuminating device configured to illuminate the photographing target.
Claims18
A control device, comprising:
- a processing circuit configured to:
- control a flight of a flight vehicle device in accordance with flight information including at least flight path information of the flight vehicle device, the flight vehicle device including an imaging device to acquire an image of a target, wherein the flight information is generated based on a flight time of the flight vehicle device;
- acquire, using a sensor, state information of the flight vehicle device;
- control the flight vehicle device to maintain the imaging device at a predetermined distance from the target at a plurality of imaging points, including control a movement speed of the flight vehicle device according to a predetermined position with respect to the target;
- control the imaging device to acquire the image of the target at the plurality of imaging points while at the predetermined distance from the target;
- and
- control the imaging device to acquire the image of the target at the plurality of imaging points by changing shooting conditions for the target based on the state information.
A control method, comprising:
- controlling, using circuitry, a flight of a flight vehicle device in accordance with flight information including at least flight path information of the flight vehicle device, the flight vehicle device including an imaging device to acquire an image of a target;
- acquiring, using the circuitry and a sensor, state information of the flight vehicle device;
- controlling, using the circuitry, the flight vehicle device to maintain the imaging device at a predetermined distance from the target at a plurality of imaging points including controlling a movement speed of the flight vehicle device according to a predetermined position with respect to the target;
- controlling, using the circuitry, the imaging device to acquire the image of the target at the plurality of imaging points while at the predetermined distance from the target;
- and
- controlling, using the circuitry, the imaging device to acquire the image of the target at the plurality of imaging points by changing shooting conditions for the target based on the state information.
A non-transitory computer readable storage device having computer readable instructions that when executed by circuitry cause the circuitry to:
- control a flight of a flight vehicle device in accordance with flight information including at least flight path information of the flight vehicle device, the flight vehicle device including an imaging device to acquire an image of a target, wherein the flight information is generated based on a flight time of the flight vehicle device;
- acquire, using a sensor, state information of the flight vehicle device;
- control the flight vehicle device to maintain the imaging device at a predetermined distance from the target at a plurality of imaging points;
- control the imaging device to acquire the image of the target at the plurality of imaging points while at the predetermined distance from the target;
- determine whether an attitude of the flight vehicle device is stable when a movement speed of the flight vehicle device is zero and acceleration of the flight vehicle device is zero;
- and
- control the imaging device to acquire the image of the target at the plurality of imaging points by changing shooting conditions for the target based on the state information.
