Teledyne IR camera: their products are not great for near IR (ours is 940nm), but mostly for longer wavelengths. We will be testing with a traditional camera but without a IR filter (rpi camera)
✈️ Upcoming Flight Tests
Geolocation on Houston re-run
Goal: test geolocation accuracy at different heights, speeds, and distances from home location
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)
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)
