Onboard Computer Vision

  • Can process CV code (e.g run ML models) onboard the UAV, thus removing the need to process code on an external computer somewhere on the ground - this gives us the ability to do real-time inference and not have to worry about latencies due to distance or connectivity

UAS Integration

  • Can communicate via a standard protocol (e.g. I2C, SPI, etc.) with peripherals (specifically custom flight controller, though potentially with other sensors?)

  • Can receive live camera feed (not sure entirely how or even if this is done with the Jetson currently, but it seems important to integrate it into our system)

  • Has reasonable power requirements

    • Standard input voltage of 3.3, 5, or 12 is preferred.

    • Power usage of the module should be minimized for our battery powered application (this is a tough requirement so we’re flexible)

  • Has reasonable physical dimensions

    • (Mech please elaborate)

  • Has reasonable weight specifications

    • (Mech please elaborate)
