Pathing

Jane Zeng

• Circle mode done yet?

• Waypoint circles?

• Camera FOV + height to search area should be done

Airside

Ashish Agrahari

• Make a “rudimentary geolocation” using the camera dimensions function, and scaling it. Pixel in image → distance in meters (assuming drone is stopped, flat, camera pointing straight down, and ground is flat)T

Tasks:

• Achita Anantachina Classical CV method tests

  • R D to look into issue

• Shahvir Wahab Research ROS with ardupilot

  • Done

• Shahvir Wahab Testing ROS with ardupilot

  • Will start soon

• Victor Terme Auto landing module

  • Needs to talk to someone about the task

  • He will talk to Tong Zhang later

• Andrew Xu Logging for all workers

  • Working on logs

  • In progress

• Siddh Patel Create log merging script

  • Waiting for PR approval

Obstacle Avoidance

Vyomm Khanna

• Implementation of VFH algorithm for obstacle avoidance coming along well.

• Updated algorithm to process LiDAR readings as a continuous stream instead of a file, display polar histogram after each oscillation (forward and backward)

• Updated algorithm to output path deflection angle (temporary waypoint direction) based on appropriate candidate valley identified.

• Wrapping up unit tests, and tweaking formula based on results.

• Scheduled to work on adding temp waypoints after this

IR Camera + detection

• Somebody needs to test the Rpi camera + IR filter (in the autonomy drawer, a little silver square) during reading week. Please look for EE members for help to turn on IR emitter

• Someone research noise reduction in taking pictures/videos in low light environment (since our filter blocks a lot of visible light)

• Now that the IR filters have arrived, we should label them unless there’s a discernible difference between both models (or if both models havent arrived)

• Will need to assign tasks related to
