[Daily Update] Week 7 - Image Processing research

  • To achieve optimal image quality, tremendous processing power is required for photo-stitching / photo-mapping
  • Hence images should be transmitted back to PC for intensive post-processing
  • Method of transmitting digital image out of camera
    - CHDK
    - DSLR tethering
  • Method of transmitting images from UAV to PC:
    - 4G (reliable and fast, but at cost)
    - High power telemetry
    - Modified video transmitter??
  • Possible library to use:
    - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    - OpenCV
  • Possible computing software to use:
    - Matlab
    - Octave
    - Mathcad
  • Big problem is to achieve orthography in photo-mapping!
