    Automatic detection of sheep from M2ED

    So the project isnt dead but we have pretty much given up on trying to make overlaying work good enough with this camera, it seems its not high enough resolution. The next approach we are testing is to do independent analysis on thermal camera and then on the visual camera, and if we have...

    Automatic detection of sheep from M2ED

    So I promised I would keep you updated. The torch Experiment failed. Its good data to use for verification, but I could not manage to do calibration With it. I did take some Pictures of a shooting range where they had a leveled and straight cement line (not sure how to describe it). Since it was...

    Automatic detection of sheep from M2ED

    Definetly will! Since I cannot get ahold of the raw data or information on how DJI has done the distortion correction I am going to calibrate my calculation algorithm. What makes it hard is that it is a combination of thermal and visual imaging and the Objects I use for calibration needs to be...

    Automatic detection of sheep from M2ED

    I think it is because DJI chooses to take the Visual image first and then take the thermic image which takes much longer time. If they did it the other way around by taking the thermic first and then the Visual the images would appear closer. This is a non-issue for me during this Project since...

    Automatic detection of sheep from M2ED

    Good that you like the project and keep thinking out loud! :D I did a simple test of waving my arm to confirm that the camera is not 100% syncronized. The pictures below is an image pair where the thermic camera and visual camera sees my hand at two very different places. However when I...

    Automatic detection of sheep from M2ED

    One issue I have identified is that the cameras are not synchronized. Both cameras take a picture, but only one at a time, resulting in a small delay between them which creates a problem for large movements.

    Automatic detection of sheep from M2ED

    Thats really interesting, Im going to try and find out how that Works. Thanks!

    Automatic detection of sheep from M2ED

    There is only one videofeed for the M2ED and can be changed With setDisplayMode, atleast for the Android SDK. I suspect my drone of not taking synchronous images or that one of the cameras is installed at an angle which throws my algorithms off. Sample images OneDrive

    Automatic detection of sheep from M2ED

    Thank you! Then I can rule out the Technical specs as an error :) You dont need to Control the thermal camera, you can download the media files (JPG) from the drone using the Windows SDK if im not mistaken, that way you can get the high quality photos instead of a low quality stream. I will in...

    Thanks for the reply, do you also know the vertical field of view?

    Automatic detection of sheep from M2ED

    Hello, I am a computer science student writing a thesis on automatic detection of sheep using M2ED by combining the thermal sensor with the visible camera. I have unfortunately hit a wall in progress and I am not sure if it is due to me misunderstanding the technical specs of the drone or...
