Inspiration
UAV based surveillance systems are expensive. Additionally, current systems take pictures, and then send them to a ground station for image processing. Since images have to be captured, and then relayed to a ground station for analysis, extra time is added, which reduces the overall efficiency.
link!(Androne) improves on current systems by being an app that runs on your android phone and can do the same features as commercial grade systems. Androne is currently able to take pictures, correct picture distortion given geo location, and send original and corrected images to a ground station.
How we built it
Androne is built using Android Studio, OpenCV, Java, and the Mavlink library.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenge with working on Androne is learning all the tools we used in making it.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that Androne is able to take pictures, adjust them, and send them to a ground station.
What we learned
We are learning how to develop Android apps for critical applications, work with OpenCV, and communication protocols via TCP ports.
What's next for Androne
Androne is part of the Robotics Association at Embry-Riddle(RAER), which will ultimately compete this summer in the UAVSI link![SUAS competition]. The goal for Androne is to autonomously identify targets and notify the ground station of any notable objects.
