Advanced Drone system Files

This is an ALPHA RELEASE. It has never been tested. Don't attempt to fly with it !


OSDLite 3.0 Features:
-Added: Support for simultaneous display of unlimited number video streams. As much as hardware can support
-Added: Virtual camera: pan, tilt and zooming
-Added: Lens distorsion correction
-Added: Keyboard's LED (Scroll, Caps & Num Lock) are used to signal alarms state
-Added: Sun & moon indications (used as mark for lens calibration)
-Added: Display of Target markers in the HUD's CameraSpace area
-Improved: laptop's battery display

OSDLite 3.x Upcoming features:
-Direct drone control
-Gimbal control: Stabilization, Target tracking...
-Stereoscopic display and support for stereoscopic cam
-Physics engine
-Flight Director V-BAR
-ILS implementation
-Racing mode OSD
-Antenna tracker implementation
-UDP support for MAVLink


OSDLite 2.x Features:
-Added GPS Tracker for GML format
-Added advanced GPS Tracker for KML/KMZ format with picture snapshot
-Added FMS registers
-Added Audio encoding
-Added support for all video codec
-Added wind vector in digital HUD
-Added AirSpeed, Variometer and Anemometer sensors
-Observator view (for TV show)
-Possibility to include video from internal recorder for playback
-Possibility to replace video feed by blue screen. Without video, anti-alias is disabled, so OSD can be reinjected by third party device
-Added Scanning of bandwidth for external MAVLink devices
-Added Displaying of other MAVLink or GPS devices in augmented reality
-Added waypoints to passive radar display
-Target labeling in augmented reality


OSDLite 1.x Features:
-Support for others sensors sources such as Windows Sensors Platform (win7)
-Implementation of Flight Management System features
-Virtual waypoint visualization in augmented reality
-Possibility to resync Sensor & media playback
-Real-time of video and sensors recording
-Playback simulation from recorded session
-Shell integration
-Added Line of Sight to Digital HUD
-Added Fuel, Ground collision & Stall alarms to Digital HUD
-Added Arm/Disarm command
-Added Autopilot commands (use with care !)


Major bugs fixed:
-Race condition on video initialization (depending of hardware setup)
-HMI lockup caused if video refresh rate is set to 0 (no limitation).
-MAJOR FIX/IMPROVEMENT of geolocation of Waypoints, Home in augmented reality (bad ECEF/ENU/NED coordinates conversion depending of Latitude)
-Fixed DeadLock condition when loading mission / configuring device
-Fixed playback failure when mission items where defined upon recording on OSDLite 2.2
-Fixed KML/KMZ export (was disabled)


Minor bugs fixed:
-Internal IMU is disabled when payblack paused
-Loiter, Land & takeoff Missions items, are now displayed on radar


Known issues:
-64bits version is not operationnal (compiler issues). Use the x86.
-APM board, won't boot correctly if connected to usb
-Only one media can be read at once for playback. Synchronization of multiples video will be implemented on later versions.
-Observer's view cannot reuse the video device acquisition from the primary view on ATI Radeon HD76000M series.
-Relative speed and ETA are experimentals, and should be considered as not reliable.
-APM's USB driver is not reliable and presents communication issues, especially when sending commands from GCS


Notes:
-If upgrading from previous version, check your previous configuration to enable new features (such radar). Especially for new intruments in the Digital HUD setup


How to support OSDLite ?
Since i'm lacking of ressources, some interestings features are pending :
-DJI Phantom, Mavic for complete integration in OSDLite
-HD video Rx/Tx for image analysis with OpenCV (target detection, obstacle avoidance)
-3D Camera for full stereoscopic integration
-HoloLens, Oculus Rift or equivalent for better stereoscopic integration and natural camera control. Currently using Headplay and TrackIR.
-Lidar or equivalent device. Mounted on gimbal, will allow to evaluate precisely targets's distance (detected with OpenCV algorithms)


Please report any bugs by opening ticket on Sourceforge.
