I have installed QGC 4.4.0, and I didn’t see any icons related to object selection. Any idea?
I think AI tracking is kind of different from FollowMe mode. It might be some thing like below sequence(I’m NOT expect on this, I’m just learning, anything wrong, please let me know.):
GCS select object detection area //MAV_CMD_CAMERA_TRACK_POINT/MAV_CMD_CAMERA_TRACK_RECTANGLE
GCS send selected aera through MAVLink to FC
FC transmits packet to AI module
AI module detect object and feedback
4.1 AI module feedback result to FC
4.2 FC transmits packet to GCS
AI module add an OSD box, indicating object is detected, which is show on GCS
AI module execute algorithm to pitch/roll/yaw, tracking the moving object
If there is an abnormal situation, such as object misiing, stop tracking // MAV_CMD_CAMERA_STOP_TRACKING
OK, Orin has 40TOPS, which is better than SIYI AI 10TOPS.
Any updates? I hope to setup an environment also, but … … If you have this setup, please let me know, thanks.
Hello! Great article!
I would like to contact you, we have a project for autonomous fire extinguishing from drones
You could help the project, what you write in your article are exactly the problems that I want to solve
You can write to me by email - kavaneural@gmail.com
Of course not for free, what are we talking about, I didn’t even think about that
The task is the same as described in the topicstarter
But you need to automate the drone when extinguishing a fire. For example, it may lose contact when heated and must be raised automatically or moved away
@Kot_Lessay I think the project “autonomous fire extinguishin” you are doing now is more complex than GSoc24 Visual Follow-me using AI. Is it possible to create a new topic for further discussion if you need thoese experts to help?
As there are quite a lot of scenarioes which need to be consider:
What type of fire extinguishing equipment should be carried?
In what scenarios (oil, gas, etc.) is it suitable for fire extinguishing?
How efficient is the fire extinguishing?
What is the heat resistance capacity of the entire equipment?
During flight, when there is smoke, what is the effectiveness of visual cameras, infrared cameras, and radar/lidar?
How long can the equipment operate while carrying it?
What about fire rescue in environments like narrow spaces in buildings and issues with dynamic collision with escaping personnel?
Automatic safe flight route planning?
These are just very preliminary considerations. It is necessary to systematically evaluate and analyze all possible scenarios and parameters before making decisions on product specifications. Extensive evaluation experiments may also be needed (for example, the accuracy of visual, infrared, and radar non-GPS positioning in fire/smoke etc, and dynamic obstacle avoidance assessment).
yeah it will be a smart controller, but eventually any of the QGC patch will work, i have to make some additions for the QGC part. For testing the gazebo part is ready i will post the version and how to setup that here.
As right now, I don’t have Smart controller (Herelink, Siyi MK15, etc). I just installed mavlink/qgc on laptop or android device. I didn’t find the menu to send those command.
mavlink/qgroundcontrol should support this, code(MAV_CMD_CAMERA_TRACK_POINTMAV_CMD_CAMERA_TRACK_RECTANGLE) are there. I’m NOT sure what I have got wrong, hope to see your version of QGC and setup:
I might be new to this but have there been considerations of using YOLO? This does not mean I do not trust Ardupilot’s inbuilt ability to calculate latitudes and determine the geolocation though.
