Presentation Transcript

  1. Computer Vision Driven Micro-Aerial Vehicle (MAV): Obstacles Avoidance • Lim-Kwan (Kenny) Kong - Graduate Student • Dr. Jie Sheng - Faculty Advisor • Dr. Ankur Teredesai - Faculty Advisor

  2. The Idea • Using quad-rotor (quad-copter) • Stream video using mono camera • Detect static obstacles using computer vision algorithms • Avoid the obstacles

  3. Steps • Reverse engineer the AR.Drone • Implement 2-3 obstacle avoidance algorithms • Testing • Collaboration: • Ji’s object tracking algorithm • Sid’s Pi-map reduce algorithm

  4. Obstacle avoidance Algorithm Figure 2. Optical flow differences [2] Figure 1. The basic program flow

  5. Outcome • Basic • Avoids obstacles in flight • Advanced • Avoids obstacles in flight • while tracking a designated object (Ji) • using Pi-map reduce algorithm (Sid).
