Technological Innovation: New Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Target Tracking Technology

Abstract

This article mainly discusses a new type of unmanned aerial vehicle target tracking technology, comprising a drone using a built-in GPS module and a device with a built-in GPS module worn by a human body. When the human body is in motion, the device worn by the human body and the drone generate pseudocodes; Perform pseudorange measurement at a certain moment in GPS time; Obtain a nonlinear equation system related to pseudorange, repeat iterative calculations to obtain accurate coordinates, use Dijkstra algorithm to calculate the shortest path in a weighted directed graph, and the drone flies according to the shortest movement trajectory from the starting point to the human target point; The drone and device of the present invention perform pseudorange measurement at a certain moment in GPS time, and repeat iterative calculations to reduce errors, which is conducive to obtaining accurate coordinates of the device and drone; Based on weighted graph search, the coordinates of the drone and the human body are treated as two endpoints, representing the starting and ending points. The algorithm calculates the shortest trajectory in the graph.
