Testing the Intel Realsense stereo camera
We recently acquired an Intel Realsense camera to supplement our drone with precise landing – and possibly sense & avoid – capabilities. This camera uses a stereo technique and an infrared sensor to get depth information on the captured objects. Our goal is to assess to what extent this sensor can be used on our drone to obtain information about its environment. Its integration into the drone raises many questions, including how to process the large amount of data collected on board, knowing that the drone currently uses a Raspberry Pi.
