Medium GrooveSquid.com (original content) Medium Difficulty Summary
The project aims to develop a sophisticated aerial vehicle system called Track Anything Rapter (TAR) that can detect, segment, and track objects of interest based on user-provided multimodal queries. TAR utilizes pre-trained models like DINO, CLIP, and SAM to estimate the relative pose of the queried object, approaching the tracking problem as a Visual Servoing task. The system integrates these foundational models with advanced motion planning and control algorithms deployed on a custom-built PX4 Autopilot-enabled Voxl2 M500 drone. To validate the tracking algorithm’s performance, it is compared against Vicon-based ground truth.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The TAR system allows users to track objects of interest using multimodal queries like text, images, and clicks. It uses advanced computer vision models to detect and track objects, and then uses motion planning and control algorithms to keep the drone focused on the object. The system is tested against real-world scenarios and compared to a ground truth.
