Research project II: Racing Drone
Research II:Racing Drone
I designed this racing drone and hoped to complete the first personal view and challenge the fastest speed of UAV.The racing drone can present an approach to accomplish an autonomous, vision-based drone racing in environments where may be dynamic obstacles. Their method is combined with a compact convolutional neural network(CNN) which runs on an onboard processor by the side of a classic/basic flight controller. The whole system only takes raw pictures Taken by a front facing camera as input to generate predictions of its trajectory and the system is capable of running fully onboard. The raw pictures will firstly be processed by the well trained CNN and output as desired waypoints and desired speed, then these high level commands will be executed by the flight controller to the motors so that the main processor will only focus on the trajectory calculation
