Indoor Search and Rescue Operations

Instructions:

·        Check out Skydio 2+ and safety vest from dispatch (Everyone must have a safety vest).

·        Drive to 2112 Beck Lane, Lafayette, IN, 47909.

·        Upon arrival, set up the Skydio 2+ and walk around the perimeter of the building and the inside of the building to get a better understanding of the environment that you will be flying.

o   What potential hazards do you see?

I could find the basketball nets. skydio 2 + ai obstacle avoidance can’t work on the nets.

·        Anyone who is not flying will be simulating either a hostage or a combatant and will be placed throughout the building. HOSTAGES will be wearing civilian clothes and COMBATANTS will be wearing safety vests.

·        When instructed, the pilot will takeoff from outside of the building and fly the Skydio 2+ throughout the building, taking pictures and documenting the locations of any individuals that are seen.

o   How many hostages were inside the building? Combatants?

I found 3 hostages and 3 combatants.

 

·        Throughout the mission, the pilot will remain outside and the visual observer will walk alongside the Skydio 2+ ensuring that the operation is safe. The two will communicate via telephone.

·        Once the entire building is surveilled, the pilot will return the Skydio 2+ to the takeoff point for landing.


It was my first time flying indoors beyond the line of sight. I was a little nervous even though I trusted, VO and Skydio 2 + Ai obstacle avoidance. When I passed the main entrance and captured the first hostages and combatants with my VO, I started feeling better, and I was also getting confidence of this mission. But there was an issue when we did a mission. When we I started flying, my VO broke up. I couldn’t understand what she talked about while I flew, so I had to mainly trust the screen.

There were many people in the lab, and we had to fly right after this mission. so, we didn’t have enough time to set up for the mission. If I have enough time before the lab next time, I will spend more time to set up for the mission such as clear communication with VO and potential hazards.

Final project(UAS data mapping mission)

Image
Required for the mission:         Mobile device with supporting mission planning software          A UAS Platform/Sensor of your choice I was asked to fly an assigned mission plot at PWA with this parameter. Altitude: 122m Lateral and Frontal Overlap: 80% Use the search function to find and open the Add Z Information (3D Analyst Tools) tool. This tool calculates properties of 3D shapes and appends the result to the attribute table of the input feature class. In this step, you will calculate the length of each sight line. Set the following parameters: Input Features: LOS_Lines Output Property: 3-Dimensional Length      The purpose of this project is to conduct a UAV mission to collect aerial imagery and data for a specific area at PWA(Purdue wildlife Area). The mission area has been assigned and the goal was to fly the assigned mission area while ensuring that the flight boundaries are slightly larger than the assigned area to...

Volumetric analysis with UAS Data

Image
In a previous lab, I completed some ESRI tutorials regarding raster data analysis. This time, I engaged in raster data analysis using UAS data gathered over the course of a mine dredging operation. I needed to draw upon what I've learned in the ESRI tutorials so far. ·        Extract by mask This tool extracts the cells of a raster that correspond to the areas defined by a mask. The mask is typically a raster dataset where cells with a certain value represent the areas I want to extract. ·          Resample Resampling is the process of changing the resolution of a raster dataset. ·          Surface volume The Surface Volume tool calculates the volume between two surfaces. I began on the 4 th of July to where the mine operation tells of the dredging to take place, and for me to establish a base dataset to know how much material was added. They are also concerned about slope fai...

Performing Line of Sight Analysis by Esri Use the search function to find and open the Construct Sight Lines (3D Analyst Tools) tool. In the Geoprocessing pane, set the following parameters: Observer Points: Observers Target Features: ParadeRoute Output: ..\EsriTraining\ProLineSight\MyData\MyData.gdb\ SightLines Observer Height Field: SHAPE.Z Target Height Field: SHAPE.Z Sampling Distance:  30 Use the search function to find and open the Line Of Sight (3D Analyst Tools) tool. Set the following parameters: Input Surface: Elevation Input Line Features: SightLines Input Features: Buildings_subset Output Feature Class: ..\EsriTraining\ProLineSight\MyData\MyData.gdb\ LOS_Lines Use the search function to find and open the Add Z Information (3D Analyst Tools) tool. This tool calculates properties of 3D shapes and appends the result to the attribute table of the input feature class. In this step, you will calculate the length of each sight line.  Set the following parameters: Input Fe...
