UAV-Drone-Path

Description

UAV-Drone-Path is a package which allows you to create a coordinate grid with objects, called obstacles, and control a virtual drone. Once instructed in the actions to perform, he will perform them avoiding obstacles and completing the various objectives. Once the route is finished you can view the grid and the route used by the drone.

Usage

test1.py & test2.py provide a semi-complete guide on how to use this package.

To get started import the command file from uav:

from uav import command

Now you can create the first Command and Drone object as:

comm = command.NewCommand('grid_file')
drone = command.NewDrone(comm,"Drone_Type","Drone_Name",[100,200,201,300],100)

To execute and create an action use:

comm.createAction("Name_of_Action",drone,COMMAND_INT,comm.returnObstacle(OBSTACLE_NUM),HEIGHT_INT)

The grid display is made available by the method display() of the Command class.

The Grid

To create you personal grid you have to create a .txt file like this:

0,0,0 20,20,20  //first and last coordinate of you grid
2,2,0 4,5,15    //first and last coordinate of your obstacle
7,16,2 10,17,20 //first and last coordinate of your obstacle

Remember that each coordinate is (x,y,z) formatted

Field based on Border

This part of the library is based on the creation of a field from geographical coordinates which can be understood as borders of states and/or geographical areas.

The creation of the field occurs via the field module. Through a few simple instructions, complex routes can be created that allow a drone to inspect well-defined areas of the border.

Usage

The use of this module is exactly the same as the previous one.

Import the command file from uav:

from uav import command

You can create a Field class as:

field = command.NewField(name="BHackFox")
field.CreateField("italy/italy_border.csv",1)

To execute and create a field path with visual result:

coordinates = field.GetCoordinates()
drone_path = field.DronePathBorder()
field.DisplayBorderPath()

Why?

Because I was bored and I like UAV and drones :)
