Deployment Planning

Objective	Turn a completed computer vision system to a working one
Due date	28 Apr 2021
Key outcomes	Video streaming to ground station, detection of boxes and pylons, geolocation of pylons, distance measurement of boxes, communication between ground station and aircraft
Status	NOT STARTED

Problem Statement

As we complete and unit test modules of our system, its time to start thinking of how to go from a completed system to a deployed one. This plan starts when all modules are functionally complete, but not necessarily operational.

Scope

The scope includes all activities starting from a functionally complete but not operational system. Any activities where new features are added is outside the scope of deployment.

Tasks

Operational unit	Tasks to becoming operational	Responsible individual(s)
Relay video back to ground station	Set up lightbridge on drone Connect lightbridge on base Connect GoPro to Lightbridge	TBD - Needs to be onside
Automatically detect pylons and boxes	Select training data (pylons), collect and select (boxes). Define bounding boxes for training. Performing training and verification. Ensure models are callable from targetAcquisition	Addesh
Communicate pylon locations, turn heading on landing and distance control on ground.	Verify interface between command module and aircraft with Firmware. Set up multiprocessing to command module.	TBD
Navigate and slow aircraft on taxi	Measure and record real-pixel width conversion ratio for distance measurement. Define control system, given that we plan to stop before the boxes, how do we plan to turn distance information into	TBD
