Obstacle3

Obstacle3 is an App showing different Maps, where a drone can't fly and where it could fly easily.

At the moment there are only the Maps

  • random — for testing
  • elevation — returning the Elevation based on the API from nationalmap.gov

It was build at the NASA Spaceapps Challenge 2016 in the Category Don't Crash My Drone.

Repo of the Android App

The returned Maps are visualized with an App. Colors symbolize the fly conditions for Drones.

Take a look at the Repo for Screenshots

Future Work

More maps

Implementing the REST API directly into the drone

Useing the API

Generate a Map

POST /api/generate-map/:layerName

Parameters

  • flightarea (required) — Dimensions of the Flightarea:
    • lat (required) — Latitude of the upper left corner of the Flightarea
    • lon (required) — Longitude of the upper left corner of the Flightarea
    • length (required) — Length of the Flightarea (in m)
    • width (required) — Width of the Flightarea (in m)
  • drone — Information about the drone:
    • mass — Mass of the drone (in g)
    • maxSpeed — Maximum Speed (in m/s)
    • maxFlightHeight — 'Maximum flight height over Ground (in m)
  • accuracy — How detailed the map should be (in m), may not be avalible on all maps, depending on the data. default is 1

Return format

  • accuracy — Because this value could not be the same as requested
  • classification — Two dimensional Array, 15 is best flight conditions, 0 is can not be accesed

Errors

  • 400 "Invalid JSON"
  • 400 {"ValidationErrors": ["errors"]}, more info
  • 400 "Layer Type Not found"
  • 500 "Internal Server Error" :(
