Hi,
I'm an italian PhD student and i'm developing algorithms that use stereo
camera images sensor fusion to control helicopter UAVs.
I already have a flight simulator (made using Simulink and an home-made
C S-function to model the helicopter flight dynamics).
I would like to use FG to have a nice graphic interface but mainly to
have a realistic sourrounding for my helicopter.
I'm sure that it's possible to impose to a FG helicopter model positions
and euler angles calculated with an external engine (like mine) but i'm
not sure if it is possible to use run-time the rendered images
originated from a "view point"! I have the need to handle the images
run-time to elaborate them with vision algorithms and to evaluate the
controller response that pilots the helicopter. I see in the manual that
it's possible to save a movies during the flight for post-process
purpuse but it's not useful for my target because it's not run-time.
Does anybody know if it possible to do something similar I need?
I'm a newbie using FG so I ask you sorry if this is a dumb question!
Thank for helping.
You might consider feeding the FlightGear out-the-window view through a scan
converter. This turns standard vga into a video signal, then you can feed
it into your image processing computer just like it was a video camera.
Regards,
Curt.
