Dear all,I am happy to share some recent test on vision based navigation that would be running on a companion computer in near future.We ported SegNet (http://mi.eng.cam.ac.uk/projects/segnet/) from Univ. of Cambridge onto NVIDIA Jetson TX1, run it…
"@Jiro, actually not sure yet, but hopefully there will be more choice on cameras other than USB at the time Tegra X1 Jetson comes out, USB host controller is a bottle-neck in any patform"
"@Chris Thanks a lot :D
@Jiro Jetson TK1 is a nice platform, however, its USB host controller somehow limits the bandwidth and 1080 video input is not smooth, maybe its not tuned up yet. We are collaborating with NVIDIA and looking forward to test…"

Hi all, here we would like to share a recent progress on our image recognition based copter controller.The system uses a tablet and a transmitter. The tablet detects the copter's position by recognizing the red circle marker painted on the copter,…
"@Henry, wonderful! we will make our depo on GitHub and let's discuss into the details."
"@arment_t yes we saw the Qualcomm and UPenn at 2015 CES, charming!
@HeliStorm, for example, when using UAV to deliver a Defibrillator, with the display it can visually show how to use the defibrillator, and a doctor can visually assist the…"

"@lot, yes actually we knew project flone long ago and it is cool!"
"@Jerry Giant, No, voice control is covered my motors, it doesn't work after motor spinning. Image could work but currently it is a development platform so RC controller is needed."
"@Joe, it is, we focused our initial milestone to be detecting and avoid oblivious objects using OpenCV, running on Android and by sending Mavlink rc channel override commands to pixhawk for motion. We have several code base from academic research,…"
"@mP1, one problem is route optimization, given multiple points on a map and to find the shortest path to visit every point at least once (Aka. traveling salesman problem). A good algorithm could save battery for drones."
"@Jerry, no, anyone can easily mount a phone on quads, that's not the point. What we do is to develop an API layer that include basic functions such as image/voice recognition etc."
"@Joe, this design may not be suitable for video shooting, instead it is supposed as a platform to develop smart drones. The usage we come up now is for visual assistance in remote rescue, or visual alert in patrol mission, etc."
"@Euan, we did our best to lower the price. The price covers part of the cost in developing accompanied software that runs on Android, and verifications on available phones.
Since our production is in Japan, the salary here is expensive than that in…"

"@Joe, yes we believe the software gimbal is the future for consumer drones. It's quite difficult due to the different in lens distortion on varied phones, our approach is to let user create a profile for his phone, by adjusting the appearance of a…"
"@Jerry, yes the telemetry can be sent over 4G with phone onboard, however, we are more interested in the processing and platform aspects of the phone."
"@Nicholas, thanks! We spent a long time on the frame design. Yes APM on pixhawk already handles the flight control, what we are interested in is to utilize the functions of the phone, say OpenCV, software gimbal stabilization, voice recognition,…"
