Obstacle detection method and apparatus and unmanned aerial vehicle

An obstacle detection apparatus, applicable to an unmanned aerial vehicle, wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a binocular photographing component and a laser texture component, and the obstacle detection apparatus comprises:

• a memory, configured to store a computer-executable obstacle detection program;
• and
• a processor, configured to invoke the computer-executable obstacle detection program to implement:
• determining to start the laser texture component;
• starting the laser texture component, to emit a laser texture;
• obtaining a binocular view that is collected by the binocular photographing component and that comprises the laser texture, and setting the binocular view that comprises the laser texture as a target binocular view;
• and
• performing obstacle detection based on the target binocular view.

An unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising:

• a vehicle body;
• a vehicle arm, connected to the vehicle body;
• a power apparatus, disposed on the vehicle arm;
• a binocular photographing component, disposed on the vehicle body, and configured to collect a binocular view in a movement direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle;
• a laser texture component, disposed on the vehicle body, and configured to emit a laser texture sensible by the binocular photographing component;
• a processor, disposed inside the vehicle body, and being in communication connection with each of the binocular photographing component and the laser texture component;
• and
• a memory, being in communication connection with the processor, wherein
• the memory stores instructions executable by the processor, and the instructions are executed by the processor to enable the processor to execute:
• determining to start the laser texture component;
• starting the laser texture component, to emit a laser texture;
• obtaining a binocular view that is collected by the binocular photographing component and that comprises the laser texture, and setting the binocular view that comprises the laser texture as a target binocular view;
• and
• performing obstacle detection based on the target binocular view.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing computer-executable instructions, the computer-executable instructions being configured to cause an unmanned aerial vehicle to execute:

• determining to start the laser texture component;
• starting the laser texture component, to emit a laser texture;
• obtaining a binocular view that is collected by the binocular photographing component and that comprises the laser texture, and setting the binocular view that comprises the laser texture as a target binocular view;
• and
• performing obstacle detection based on the target binocular view.
