Abstract: The invention relates to a method of dynamically determining the duration of exposure for the capture of an image implemented in a drone comprising a substantially vertical-view camera. The method comprises a step (21) of measuring of the horizontal speed of displacement of the drone, a step (22) of measuring the distance between said drone and the ground, and a step (23) of determining the duration of exposure based on the measured speed of displacement of the drone, the distance measured between said drone and the ground, a predetermined quantity of blurring and the focal length of said camera.

Abstract: The drone comprises a camera (14), an inertial unit (46) measuring the drone angles, and an extractor module (52) delivering image data of a mobile capture area of reduced size dynamically displaced in a direction opposite to that of the variations of angle measured by the inertial unit. The module analyses the image data elements of the useful area to assign to each one a weighting coefficient representative of a probability of belonging to the sky, and defines dynamically a boundary of segmentation (F) of the useful area between sky and ground as a function of these weighting coefficients. Two distinct groups of regions of interest ROIs are defined, for the sky area and for the ground area, respectively, and the dynamic exposure control means are controlled as a function of the image data of the ROIs of one of these groups, in particular by excluding the ROIs of the sky area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a camera unit (14) adapted to be placed on board a drone (10) to map a land (16), comprising a camera (18) adapted to capture successive images of portions of the land overflown by the drone. The camera unit comprises means for memorizing the captured images, means for comparing information about the overflown land portion visible through the camera with at least one piece of information about at least the previous captured image to determine the rate of overlapping of the overflown land portion with at least said previous captured image, and means for sending a command to the camera to carry out the capture of an image, as soon as the rate of overlapping of the overflown land portion is lower than or equal to the predetermined rate of overlapping.

Abstract: The system comprises a drone and a ground station with a console adapted to be directed towards the drone, and virtual reality glasses rendering images taken by a camera of the drone. The system further comprises means for modifying the framing of the images taken by the camera as a function of framing instructions received from the ground station. It further comprises relative heading determination means (302-324) for periodically elaborating an angular difference between the orientation of the glasses and the orientation of the console, and means (316) for elaborating framing instructions for the drone as a function said angular difference. The sudden changes of framing when the user simply turns the console and his whole body, head included, towards the drone to follow it in its displacements, are hence avoided.
