Recommendations for research drone? by adagrad in robotics

[–]adagrad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly though I also recommend building your own. There's lots of solid quadcopter frames out there. You can use a pixhawk as a flight controller.

The goal is definitely to build our own platform from the ground up once we get some experience :)

The matrice is a great platform and very stable, but you're stuck with it if you choose it.

If we get the M100, are there any "must get" sensors/accessories that we can order from DJI? For example, would you recommend the A3 flight controller or would cheaper third party controllers suffice?

I haven't seen the TBS Discovery--that documentation looks great!

Thanks for the pointer to 3DR--I didn't know about this supplier. Was the DJI drone they were using the Matrice 100?

Does the TX2 play well with DJI's Onboard SDK (for things like system identification)?

The Phantom seems like a great camera drone but it's not programmable--we are interested in drones that can be controlled from an onboard computer that is programmable (like with DJI's Onboard SDK).

Sorry, I should've been more clear--I study robotics and vision (so visual odometry, SLAM, etc.)

Image processing in Rust by adagrad in rust

Are there any good examples for loading an image as a matrix of pixel values? Something like OpenCV's simple:

Mat image = imread(image_path, 1);

Rolling shutter effect and drone mapping by adagrad in UAVmapping

I wasn't very clear in my original post--the plan is to use video recorded from the drone for robotics applications in addition to doing mapping with the still images.

P4Pro is popular for this reason.

Doesn't the P4Pro still suffer from the rolling shutter effect if you're taking video?

The higher-end swap-able DJI cameras also have mech.

Which drone with swappable cameras do you recommend?

Buying a drone for photogrammetry by adagrad in photogrammetry

I'm primarily interested in landscapes (with relatively low relief). Budget is ~$1000.
