T3

'Compound of Evil' scenario: make a 3D model of a house before specops insertion

Posted by Krzysztof Bosak on May 2, 2011 at 12:49pm

How about reviving T3 contest?

Must use only free processing tools.

Minimal distance to takeoff 1km or a mile. Must follow the plane and maintain visual contact as per actual laws. Electric winged machines only. Extra points for motor-off gliding over target.

    That's quite an escalation from the present DIYDrones T3 contest, but I guess it was only a matter of time.

    Krzysztof,

    http://www.nal.res.in/MAV08/

    this competition had pretty much similar program to what you suggested.

    and it was hard

    "what safety features will the craft have"

    Self-destruction in mid air. No subprojectile should exceed N joules.

     

    Be realistic. The amateur UAV is supposed to be flown to target area with operator having backup RC control in his hands and maintaining visual range. The platform type will be probably from EPP anyway and sub 2kg MTOW.

    Asside from requirements from authorized personnel, what safety features will the craft have? I personally dont like having heavy objects fall on my head...

    "Maintaining line of sight visual contact, expecially if you're worried about people with guns in the target zone, is not."

    US requirements for amateur UAV is to have COA and ATC integration or  be flown under 400ft and IN VISUAL RANGE is just that.

    Blame your govt but I had to propose rules that you can follow during a civilian contest while simulating a few of the interesting real-life elements.

    Realistic mission profile would be 15-30km video coded transmission, takeoff dropped from a helicopter and 2h endurance plus remotely hovering helico with a cluster of processing computers/or satellite link with 1MB/s coded throughput BOTH ways. Also demonstrate self-destructing mechanism for the UAV.

    If you prefer things specified that way...

    The example posted are processed results from free web services. Will be posted soon, among them test hypr3d and photosynth.

    This looks pretty sweet!

    Questions:

    Did you also create the post-processing tools? Can you please explain how it was done or post a reference please?

    If not, add a reference too :)

    Actually, if the scenario was in keeping with the actual mission, then ArduCopters, etc. would be allowed to compete since the raid was in fact done by helicopters.

    Nice Krzysztof! which program did you use to create the 3D?
  • Ritchie May 2, 2011 at 1:37pm
    Think something was lost in translation there Krzysztof :)
    I think this a good concept but all vehicles of autonomous control should be able to enter. Bonuses Could be assigned by type accuracy of position for heli/quad auto takeoff and landing for planes.
