camera

Python serialization and deserialization for Autonomy.

...

Every nth image is saved as image0.png , image1.png , etc. They can be deleted after the test.

kml

Converts a list of waypoints to KML file for visualization (e.g. Google Earth, Google Maps).

Testing:

Code Block
cd kml
pytest

Connection to drone using the MAVLink protocol. This module uses WGS 84 only.

Testing:

Start Mission Planner simulation with MAVLink forwarding: Mission Planner Simulated Ardupilot

...

Code Block
python -m test_flight_controller

qr

QR scanning and text output.

...

The text output should be as expected.

image_encoding

Encode and decode images from numpy array to jpeg (raw bytes). See Profile Encode Repository and Formats for more details on why jpeg was chosen.

Testing:

Code Block
cd image_encoding
python -m test_image_encode_decode 

There will be a result.jpg in the image_encode directory after the test to ensure that the images look similar.

network

TCP and UDP socket tools to send data across a network (private networks).

Testing:

Unit test:

Code Block
cd network
pytest

Integration test with image_encoding:

Code Block
pytest (tests the whole repository)
OR
pytest test_send_image.py (tests only this integration test)
