  1. Remote Controlled Car with 3D Panoramic Image Capturing Capability Rusty Close Justin Devenish Don Edwards Ashley Riddle Andy Vanderheyden ECE4007 Senior Design L01 November 2, 2011

  2. Sample 3D Mesh

  3. Project Overview • A 3D image capturing device mounted to a remote control car • Survey non-navigable areas for potential hazards, obstacles, or victims • Emergency relief personnel or contractors • Budget spent: $270.00 • Sale price: $6,000.00

  4. Marketplace Competition • Time-of-flight devices • Allow real-time 3D capture • Stationary • Faro Focus 3D • Laser Light Sectioning • Ideal for small objects • Stationary • NewEngine 3D Laser Scanner

  5. Design Objectives • Accurate 3D Mesh • Compare 3D mesh to mobile testing space to confirm accuracy • Battery Life • Device to remain fully operative during time required to complete two separate surveillance runs • Communications Range • Device to effectively transmit the on-board netbook’s desktop to remote user within specified range radius of at least 30’

  6. Remote 3D Image Capturing Device Prototype

  7. Module Interaction

  8. Car Control

  9. Original R/C Car 23 inches

  10. New R/C Car 16 inches

  11. Remote Control Conversion

  12. Control Calibration

  13. Kinect Integration

  14. Xbox Kinect • VGA Camera • Used for navigation • Infrared Depth Camera • Utilizes time of flight of a grid of infrared dots • Used to capture depth images for 3D mesh

  15. RGBDemo • Open-source program by Nicolas Burrus • RGBD Viewer • Calibrator • Scene Re-constructor • Creates mesh • Maps textures • Uses feature matching

  16. RGBDemo Demonstration

  17. Kinect Communications • Proposed • On-board router • USB-over-network server • Issue • Server doesn’t allow correct device connections with manufacturer software • Solution • Use netbook for on-board mesh processing

  18. Pan & Tilt Integration

  19. Pan & Tilt Components • Pan & tilt • Receiver & transmitter • Arduino microcontroller • ZigBee Problems • Original servo motor: 180° vs. 360° • Potentiometer accuracy Transmitter Receiver

  20. Pan & Tilt Demonstration

  21. Power Module

  22. Powering the Device • Two 7.2V/3.3A RC car batteries connected in series • ON Semiconductor MC7812CTG 12V voltage regulator

  23. Power Challenges • Two batteries directly connected in series • Using a Y cable to connect batteries 7.2 V RC car batteries Y cable

  24. Schedule of Due Dates

  25. Cost Analysis • Total Development Cost $80,180.00 • Total Parts Cost $ 744.19 • Actual Cost $ 270.00
