  1. Alex Chantharasouk, Mohamed Bhura, Tao Gong, Tom Panek Eyes in the Sky: Wireless Video Streaming through Raspberry Pi Communications

  2. Overview • Introduction • Design • Implementation • Evaluation • Visual Support • Photo • Video • Future Work • Conclusion RPi mounted below helicopter

  3. Introduction • Inspiration: Drones in video games. Artificially intelligent military grade devices. Auto-surveying RC tank. Roomba’s. • Purpose: To innovate a system that enables the controlling of small-scale commercial devices and to offer the capabilities of add-ons and extended functions through connections with a Raspberry Pi device.

  4. Design • Video - A camera mounted on vehicle offering bird’s eye view, or other perspectives • Streaming -Hard coded through Python on Raspberry Pi system • Wireless System - SSH connection • Android App- Programming through Eclipse with Android SDK

  5. Implementation • Parts and Devices • 49” RC helicopter • Raspberry Pi • Raspberry Pi camera • 2600 mAh 5V power supply • Android OS • Raspberry Pi mounted to RC helicopter • Camera attached serially to Raspberry Pi • Video stream sent by Pi • Android app to receive the live stream

  6. Connection • Local access point setup • Raspberry Pi connected to local AP • Video stream fed from connecting to Raspberry Pi IP address Access point used for testing

  7. Visual Example (App)

  8. Visual Example (Helicopter) Raspberry Pi camera mounted Power supply and helicopter electronics Live video feed from Pi camera Preflight checks

  9. Video Simulation Raspberry Pi Video Streaming

  10. Conclusion Our goals accomplished: • Raspberry Pi camera is able to stream live video feed. • Video stream onto devices are purely wireless connection. • Raspberry Pi and camera (along with power supply) were mounted in place in RC copter, with little disturbances to each system. Evaluation: • Video stream appeared to run continuously when in air. • Problems in shaky video feed produced by the RC copter. • Original router set up indoor proved very limited video feed from outdoors.

  11. Future Work • Thermal sensor camera • Thermal mapping through mobile devices • Real-time communication and control on RC helicopter • Autopilot protocols on RC helicopter
