This week, our tasks were more related to integration, but still independent. Vedant and Sid were able to integrate target detection and state estimation and demonstrated impressive smoothing of the target location in 2D pixel space. Vedant also focused heavily on debugging issues with our new camera on the software side, while Sid developed CAD parts to attach this specific camera and other sensors to the drone. Alvin integrated both Vedant and Sid’s target detection and state estimation pipelines into a functional 2D to 3D target state estimation.
Our stretch goal was to begin physical testing this week, but we will push this to next week since we have faced unexpectedly long lead times for the 3D printing and connection issues with the camera. Once we can integrate all this hardware with the drone, we will begin physical testing.
