📣 Announcements

✈️ Upcoming Flight Tests

  • IR Detect target with brightness filter Victor Huang ?

    • Didn’t implement the brightness filter yet – Talked about brightness drop-off as well

    • Lowered camera exposure time for now, could also look into lowering ISO, although it seems like we don’t need to (The bright spots on images aren’t fully 255 yet?)

  • Full system test/comp simulation

    • Failed due to coldness – pi didn’t start up

  • Retry for full system test

    • Test MAVLink system – Ground test for this happening right after meeting!

Notes

Pathing

Balaji Leninrajan Evan Zhao

  • Evan Zhao Finding water route PR under review – but more scrutiny is also needed for double-checking validity of algorithm after realizing a test case was wrong – Evan

  • Path_2025_task_1.py should be done by next meeting

  • Slight issue with flight controller migration, not major but will take some time

  • Circle mode is still being researched

Airside

Achita Anantachina Herman Gahra

  • Aleksa Misic cluster estimation by labels

    • Waiting review

  • Rohan Katreddy Integration test for cluster estimation

    Under review

    • merged

    • To be run at ground test

  • Tochi Okoro Autolanding module + worker

    • merged

  • John Zhang MAVLink FTP

    • PR is updated

    • Evan Zhao Unit test from logs_to_kml failing

      • Follow up with John Zhang to update submodulesIgnore this for now

  • Adrian Lock Communication unit test

    • Merged

  • Siddh Patel profile performance

  • Victor Huang Min brightness filter

    • Still have a min brightness filter

    • Almost done(just at a lower threshold)

    • Implement the drop-off filter → Help reduce false detections (anything under dropoff gets cut)

  • Yibo Yang Cluster estimation – filter by number of points in cluster

    Progress, almost done

    • To be reviewed

  • Achita Anantachina Classical CV test cases

    • To be reviewed

    • Follow up with Xierumeng

  • Arpan Roy show annotated picture bug fix

MAVLink update:

  • STATUSTEXT messages have strings as input (null terminated), so we cannot send the byte “0”

  • Try these 3 other messages, and see if they get forwarded from flight controller (pixhawk/simulator) to ground station: https://mavlink.io/en/messages/common.html

    • DEBUG_VECT (250)

    • NAMED_VALUE_FLOAT (251)

    • NAMED_VALUE_INT (252)

  • Workaround for now: base64 encoding around current bytes to have it fit in a string representation

IMACS

Vibhinn Gautam

  • Tochi Okoro SITL controller

    • Solid progress. Need to write test harness and cases.

  • Alex Liu Updates?

    • To follow up: new library for camera and writing tests

  • Andrew Wan add waypoints to queue

    • Almost complete, testing in progress

  • Hasan Baig Map widget

    • Little progress this week expected. Will ask for updates.

  • Leonardo Zhou no updates so far. Might need to re-assign.

  • side note: documentation (partially) updated. need to organize into one place to make access easier.

Obstacle Avoidance

Vyomm Khanna

  • Andrew’s reviewed the PRs , merging them into OA repo by tommorw.Vyomm Khanna Old PRs closed yet?

  • Working on final unit + integration tests for VFHDecision that were blocked by the merge

  • Ready to roll out task: Implementing module to translate output of the VFHDecision Module into a MAVLink command to deflect the drone using flight-interface and controller.Honzik Schenk VFHDecision output to MAVLink command

IR Camera + detection

ML

Multiple people work on these, top priority (lots of images!)

✅ Action items

  •  Follow up with Arpan Roy for his task
  •  Comp sync: Add extra camera for detecting sign of fire? (If it gives points)
