TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a control device, a control method, and a flight vehicle device.

BACKGROUND ART

A technology relating to a method for capturing photographs using a camera installed in a radio-controllable flight vehicle has been disclosed (for example, refer to Patent Literature 1). Using the camera installed in such a flight vehicle, it is possible to capture photographs from the sky or a position in which a tripod is difficult to set. Capturing using a camera installed in a flight vehicle brings various advantages in that costs can be suppressed, and safe capturing, capturing at a low altitude or in a narrow place, capturing in proximity to a target, and the like are possible in comparison to when a real aircraft or helicopter is used.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

It is considered that, if such a flight vehicle equipped with a camera enables human beings to effectively capture a situation of a place to which access is not easy for them, it will be very helpful for inspecting structures to which an approach is difficult for human beings. For example, using flight vehicles to inspect social infrastructures such as bridges, tunnels, dams, and roads built across rivers or seas, industrial infrastructures such as airports, buildings, warehouses, factories, and plants can be considered.

Here, images used to inspect structures as described above are required to have precision sufficient for detecting defects having a prescribed size such as cracks. As a method of photographing images having high precision without using a tower wagon, or the like, for example, photographing with a camera fixed to a tripod using a high-magnification zoom lens is considered. This method, however, has a limitation in the photographable range of a camera. On the other hand, if a flight vehicle with a camera mounted thereon is used, it can approach and photograph targets. However, since flight vehicles have difficulty in completely standing still due to wind and the like, and are influenced by vibration resulting from rotation of propellers and the like, it is difficult to obtain images having high precision sufficient for ascertaining exact damage of structures.

Therefore, a novel and improved control device, control method, and flight vehicle device which enable highly precise images to be obtained are proposed.

Solution to Problem

According to the present disclosure, there is provided a control device including: an illuminating control unit configured to adjust a light amount of an illuminating device according to an inclination of a body 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.

In addition, according to the present disclosure, there is provided a control method including: acquiring an inclination of a body of a flight vehicle device with respect to a photographing target, the flight vehicle device including an imaging device configured to photograph the photographing target, and an illuminating device configured to illuminate the photographing target; and adjusting a light amount of the illuminating device according to the inclination of the body.

In addition, according to the present disclosure, there is provided a flight vehicle device including: an imaging device configured to photograph a photographing target; an illuminating device configured to illuminate the photographing target; and a control unit configured to adjust a light amount of the illuminating device according to an inclination of a body with respect to the photographing target.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

According to the present disclosure described above, highly precise image can be obtained in photographing using a flight vehicle device. Note that the effects described above are not necessarily limitative. With or in the place of the above effects, there may be achieved any one of the effects described in this specification or other effects that may be grasped from this specification.
