On Github Stephan Sturges has launched the most recent model of a Free-to-use ground-level obstacle-detection segmentation AI for UAV which you’ll deploy as we speak utilizing low cost off-the-shelf sensors from Luxonis. He writes:-
The default neural community now includes a 3-class output with the detection of people on a separate output layer! That is to permit finer granularity impediment avoidance: if you need to fall out of the sky now you can determine whether or not it’s finest to drop your drone on high of a constructing or on somebody’s head 😉
You will want any Luxonis gadget with an RGB digicam and the proper model of the depthai-python library put in in your platform and gadget mixture. When it comes to real-world use I might advocate that you simply get a tool with a worldwide shutter RGB digicam with excessive gentle sensitivity and comparatively low optical distortion.
If you don’t but personal an OAK-series digicam from Luxonis and wish one to make use of with this repository, your finest wager is to get an OAK-1 gadget modified with an OV9782 sensor with the “commonplace FOV”. That is learn how to do it:
- Go to the OAK-1 on the Luxonis retailer and add it to your cart https://store.luxonis.com/collections/usb/merchandise/oak-1
- Go the the “customization coupon” within the Luxonis retailer and add a kind of https://store.luxonis.com/collections/early-access/merchandise/modification-cupon
- In your purchasing cart, add “please substitute RGB sensor with commonplace FOV OV9782” within the “directions to vendor” field
… after which wait every week or so in your global-shutter, fixed-focus, high-sensitivity sensor to reach 🙂
Within the beginner {and professional} UAV area there’s a want for easy and low cost instruments that can be utilized to find out secure emergency touchdown spots, avoiding crashes and potential hurt to folks.
The neural community performs pixelwise segmentation, and is educated from my very own pipeline of artificial knowledge. This public model is educated on about 500Gb of knowledge. There’s a new model educated on 4T of knowledge that I’ll publish quickly, if you wish to take a look at it simply contact me by way of e-mail.

These are sadly all made with an previous model of the neural community, however I don’t have my very own drone to make extra :-p The present gen community performs not less than 5x higher on a blended dataset, and is a big step up in real-world use.
(masked space is “touchdown secure”)
Full-fat model
FYI there’s a extra superior model of OpenLander that I’m creating as a business product, which incorporates depth sensing, IMU, extra superior neural networks, custom-developed sensors and a complete lot extra stuff. For those who’re intersted in that be happy to contact me by way of e-mail (my identify @ gmail).
Right here’s a fast screengrab of deconflicting touchdown spots with depth sensing (this runs in parallel to the DNN system): depth_video.mov
There shall be updates sooner or later, however I’m additionally creating {custom} variations of the neural community for particular business use instances and I gained’t be including all the pieces to OpenLander. OpenLander will stay free to make use of and is destined to enhancing security of UAVs for all who get pleasure from utilizing them!
