Ashish Agrahari

• Aleksa Misic Cluster estimation progress

  • Awaiting merge and rebaseMerged

• Communications worker

  • Also needs to be able to send data to ground through mavlink (communications messages: FILE_TRANSFER_PROTOCOL (110) https://mavlink.io/en/services/ftp.html )

• The ground will then run a script to parse the GPS coords from the mavlink messages – Data encoding task

• Reassigned Aayush Deshpande to cluster estimation logs

• John Zhang ground communication using FTP

• Lucas Liao Perhaps send STATUSTEXT messages on camera startup and bootup

Other Tasks:

• Achita Anantachina Classical CV method tests

  Decided that Achita will improve current CV implementation, by using parts of Nathan’s code

  • Seems to be working!

• Siddh Patel Add a CV detection configuration to detect the IR emitters (brightspots)

  • Working on it. Starting making tests.
