  2. Today’s Topics • Brief Overview of Project/Competition • Flight Progress • Imaging Processing Update • Camera/Gimbal System Update • Autopilot and Navigation Update • Schedule/Budget • Summary Presented By: Ken Anderson

  3. Project/Competition Overview • AUVSI-Competition Project • Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International • Search and Rescue • Natural Disaster Scenario • I.S.R. • Intelligence • Surveillance • Reconnaissance Presented By: Ken Anderson

  4. Competition Objectives • Waypoint Navigation • Coordinate Change • Autonomous Takeoff and Landing • Autonomous Area Search for Ground Targets • Image Recognition of Ground Targets • Safety Precautions Presented By: Ken Anderson

  5. Plane updates Additional electronics added: • Camera/Gimbal Mounted • 2 servos = 2 DOF • Video Transmitter mounted • Battery pack installed Presented By: Eric Milo

  6. Hardware Installed and Functional • Autopilot System • 3-Axis Gyroscope • 3-Axis Magnetometer • Ublox GPS • Telemetry Transmitter Radio Receiver Video Transmitter Electronics Power Supply Pitot Probe Magnum XL Engine Sony KPC Camera Gimbal System

  7. Extending our flight time Current Fuel Setup: Pressure Line Fuel Line Engine Fuel Tank Future Fuel Setup: Pressure Line Spare Bladder Fuel Line Engine Fuel Tank Presented By: Eric Milo

  8. Image Processing Update • Hardware • Implemented system hardware on air vehicle • Implemented composite-to-USB encoder • First successful wireless video communication • Software • Utilization of new hardware with existing software Presented By: Robert Woodruff

  9. Image Processing Update • In-flight Video • Image Processing from in-flight video Presented By: Robert Woodruff

  10. Image Processing – Future Work • Hardware • Video Interference • Shield communication cables • Pursue more efficient antennae • Vibrations • Better ground targets • Software • Real-time image processing • Refine existing algorithms Presented By: Robert Woodruff

  11. Gimbal System Update • Autopilot is able to control the servos • The old system needed improvements • Rolling degree of freedom compromised • Old system was designed for a bigger camera • Camera too close to the ground during landing/taking off • Problem: system not working properly on flight Presented By: Ernandes Nascimento

  12. Gimbal System Update • Redesigning the System • Better view clearance • Less space required • Easier assembly on the plane • Better correction angle for rolling movements • Less weight on the plane • Less center of gravity dislocation • Vibrations problem reduced Presented By: Matt Yasensky
