  • Patent number: 11501430
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for contact-free heart rate monitoring and/or measurement are provided. One method may include receiving video(s) that include visual frame(s) of individual s) performing exercises, detecting some exposed skin from the video(s), and performing motion compensation to generate color signals for the exposed skin to precisely align frames of the exposed skin. The method may also include generating the color signals by estimating a skin color for each frame by taking a spatial average over pixels of a cheek of the face(s) for R, G, and B channels, respectively, applying an operation to remove remaining motion traces from the frames such that the heart rate traces dominate, and extracting and/or outputting the heart rate of the individuals using a frequency estimator of the skin color signals.

  • Publication number: 20220135224
    Abstract: Provided is a method and device for adjusting a broadcast dosage, an unmanned aerial vehicle and a storage medium. Applied to the unmanned aerial vehicle for broadcast through a material taking device driven by an electric motor, the method particularly includes: receiving a calibration instruction including a calibration rotation speed and calibration duration, controlling the electric motor to run at the calibration rotation speed within the calibration duration to discharge a material to be broadcast; acquiring a flight parameter and an actual discharge amount of the material to be broadcast discharged by the material taking device within the calibration duration; determining an adjustment coefficient between a flight speed and a rotation speed of the electric motor according to the flight parameter and the actual discharge amount; and adjusting the rotation speed of the electric motor to adjust the broadcast dosage according to the adjustment coefficient.

  • Publication number: 20210329828
    Abstract: Provided are a material broadcasting device, an unmanned aerial vehicle, and a material broadcasting method. The material broadcasting device includes a material picker, a material receiver, a material feeder, and a controller. The material picker includes a housing having an upper opening and a lower opening; and a material picking wheel located at the lower opening and driven by a driving member to rotate. The upper opening is in communication with a material box. Material picking cavities for accommodating materials are provided on the material picking wheel. The controller is electrically connected to the driving member. The material receiver is located below the material picking wheel and is in communication with the material feeder.
