Project to allow a UAV to avoid obstacles by using Computer Vision.
Image processing is done on an Odroid U3 with OpenCV. Sensor communication is done via ROS and Mavlink
Development in progress...
Open a terminal and run roscore
Open a second terminal and gain root access by running sudo -s (camera may require root access)
then roslaunch obstacle_avoidance uvccamera.launch
In a third terminal run our rosnode via rosrun obstacle_avoidance obstacle_avoidance_node
If this command fails to find our node you can navigate to the directorycatkin_ws/devel/lib/obstacle_avoidance and run the node manually by ./obstacle_avoidance_node
The obstacle_avoidance_node should now be running and performing image processing via a usb webcam
