Control Circuit Design On Digital Aerial Camera Shooting For Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Remote Sensing (RS) system of UAV is a kind of new-type aviation one.The traditional UAV are not designed for RS purpose while the RS equipments are not specially for that. It is an important problem to be solved with common use of digital camera on UAV.In this paper we mainly work in the following several aspects:1. In light of the earlier actual UAV flight test system, we design a camera control module of remote sensing system.2. We test the ways how the existing digital aerial camera work and receive a lot of data. The data is a basis to design a camera control circuit. The circuit board is completed and the box is designed.3. We produce the PCB and test it to verify the actual camera control capacity. Constantly improving and perfecting the function of the PCB.4. We test the cameras related cables and get the information from their internal structure and then improve them to be compatible with other part of the remote sensing system. The cameras could be part of UAV remote sensing system.5. We test and debug the integration system with the camera control procedures and make a further improvement of camera control circuit board.This paper basically realized the initial target. We basically make a solution in the control Nikon D200 digital camera to photograph in rule on UAV remote sensing platforms.Here 4 Nikon D200 digital cameras are mainly used in testing. Authors design 4 sets of camera control circuits for these digital cameras to take pictures regularly in UAV RS system.
