| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely known as a low-cost remote sensing platform. The sensing camera is usually supported by a gimbal mechanism to attenuate the camera attitude change by aircraft motion. However, the gimbal is heavy enough to cancel the cost and size merit of UAVs. Therefore, a new photographic system consists of the aircraft body-fixed camera and gimbaled photographic mirror was proposed in this project. The control bandwidth of the gimbaled mirror is higher than conventional camera gimbal because of less moment of inertia. This suggests the new system will be effective in attenuating the structual oscillation. A small and lightweight photographic system for small UAVs has been developed. Inverse kinematics of the gimbal was derived and the effectiveness of the new system was verified by shooting test.
