Indoor autonomous flight with Arducopter, ROS and Aruco Boards Detection

I would like to show my work (in progress) on a simple system capable to realize indoor autonomous flight. The system is based on a quadcopter with a camera that stream video (and telemetry) to a desktop PC and receive pose estimation message and command from the same PC. The camera is downward looking and on the floor there is an Aruco Boards like this: [ppp] The pose estimation is calculated by aruco_gridboard ROS package on the PC and the relevant messages are sent back to the quadcopte…

Using Vision Position Estimate for Skyviper-v2450 running ArduCopter-3.7-dev

Hi all, I am trying to autonomously control my Skyviper drone in a map consisting numerous Aruco markers on a plane. I am able to localize my drone by using the aruco detection and pose estimation libraries that OpenCV provides. I have written a ros node that publishes /mavros/vision_position/pose which contains the pose of the drone in NED coordinate system. I have whitelisted vision* and local* plugins in the apm_pluginlist. Then I switch on my drone and connect my PC to it via WiFi. Next, I…
