Project related to the CWSI calculation
Using Olympe 7.5.0 since Oylmpe 7.7.0 causes constant connection retries. This has been fixed on the current version of this program. Requirements have been updated to use the functional Olympe version. Multiprocessing is being used as of now in this program since matplotlib blocks the program from executing any following code. For now, it's the best solution as it has no impact on the performance of the live stream video at all. Also, the venv used needs a cleanup since there are a lot of packages that are not being used at all.
0.1.0: Added camera capabilities to take photo. Basic functions are still on progress.
0.2.0: Added thermal camera capabilities for photo mode only.
0.3.0: Updated the project structure to work in a modular way.
0.3.1: The thermal module runs on a new process in order to prevent blocking due to matplotlib.
0.4.0: Added live video stream from the drone directly. Added basic commands.
0.4.1: Improved video delay changing the bitrate of the video. Now when taking a thermal photo the final result is shown immediatly.
0.5.0: Added camera angle control. Yaw and Roll are disabled by default since most drones don't support it anyways. Camera angle gets reset to 0 every time you run the program again, this
has to be changed for future versions of the program.
0.5.1: Added normal photo function. Using the correct key will take a photo and download it to the /images/drone folder. The driving speed of the drone has been increased as well.
Lastly, the return home function has been tested and it's working, so be really carerful when using this.
0.6.1: A functional GUI has been added. It will show the temperature plot on the canvas display, which can be hidden with a button or by pressing the space key. You can click in the GUI buttons to control the drone or you can use the keyboard keys stated on the controls. You must have the controls window focused in order for this to work, which is more convenient. Some functions are not available on the GUI program. Please, run gui_main.py in order to control the drone on GUI mode.
The return home function is working properly and as of version 0.5.1 it has no confirmation measurements, so as soon as you press H the return home function will execute.
When the return home function is run the drone will elevate as high as it can and will try to return to the takeoff location at maximum speed.
USE IT ONLY WHEN NEEDED, IF USED IMPROPERLY YOUR DRONE COULD RUN A VERY HIGH RISK OF CRASHING OR OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.
As of the latest stable version (0.6.1) the controls are:
W - A - S - D: Control the drone directions (up, left, down and right).
ARROWS: Left and right will rotate the drone to that direction. Up and down will make the drone go higher or lower.
H: The drone will try to come back to the landing point (home). This might not work if the drone loses connection or if it has no battery left.
T: Takeoff. The Drone will make a sound to warn about the takeoff. You can cancel it by sending a landing request
.
N: Takes a normal photo with the drone and no processing will be done. Just a photo.
L: Landing. Please make sure there's enough space for the drone to land. Also, lower the drone as much as you can before sending a land request.
P: Take thermal photo. The process takes a couple seconds and you get the image saved in the images/drone directory. If you don't have this directory the program will likely crash.
I - K: Control the camera angle. I goes up and K goes down.
C (NON GUI ONLY): Calibrate camera. If you notice any errors on the camera angle run this request and it should get fixed.
Q: Quits the program. Take in count this wont make the drone come back nor land. Quit the program when you're done.
