A Method for UAV Real-Time Image Simulation Based on Hierarchical Degradation Model

A large number of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) real-time image samples are required in the UAV flight simulation training system. In order to alleviate the lack of image source situation, the method of simulating UAV real-time image is proposed. First, the degradation factors are analyzed. Then, the hierarchical degradation model is established and the method of real-time image simulation is given. Finally, this method is simulated on the Visual C++ platform and the generation of UAV real-time image with a variety of defects is realized. The experimental results show that the simulation images are realistic, fulfill the demand of the UAV flight simulation training system, and this method shows high effectiveness and practicality.
