At the integration sprint of the E-DRZ consortium in march 2023 we improve the information captured by the human spotter (of the fire brigade) by extending him through a 360° drone. The UAV needs 3 minutes to capture the outdoor scenario and the hall from inside and outside. The hall ist about 70 x 20 meters. When the drone is landed we have all information in 360° degree at 5.7k as you can see it in the video. Furthermore it is a perfect documentation of the deployment scenario. In the next video we will show how to spatial localize the 360° video and how to generate a 3D point cloud from it.

Gaussian Splatting: 3D Reconstruction of a Chemical Company After a Tank Explosion in Kempen 8/2023
(2023)
The video showcases a 3D model of a chemical company following a tank explosion that occurred on August 17, 2023, in Kempen computed with the gaussian splatting algorithm. Captured by a compact mini drone measuring 18cm x 18cm and equipped with a 360° camera, these images offer an intricate perspective of the aftermath. The computation need 29 minutes and uses 2770 images (~350 equirectangular images). After a comprehensive aerial survey and inspection of the 360° images taken within the facility, authorities confirmed that it was safe for the evacuated residents to return to their homes. See also:

Problem
- How to effectively use aerial robots to support rescue forces?
- How to achieve good flight characteristics and long flight times?
- How to enable simple and intuitive control?
- How to efficiently record image data of the environment?
- How to generate flight and image data for rescue forces?
Implementation:
The flying robot was designed in Autodesk Fusion360. In order to achieve high stability as well as low weight, the frame was milled from carbon. Mounts such as for GPS and 360° camera were 3D printed. A special feature is that the flying robot is not visible in the panoramic view of the 360° camera. The flight controller of the robot was set up using Ardupilot. The communication with the robot is done via MAVLink (UDP).To support different platforms, a software was realized as a web application. The front end was created using HTML, CSS and Javascript.
The back end is based on Flask-Socket-IO (Python). For the intelligent recognition of motor vehicles a micro controller with an integrated camera is used. For the post-processing of flight and video data a pipeline was implemented for automation.
This video features a flight test conducted in our robotics lab, showcasing a custom-built thermal camera drone. We've enhanced a DJI Avata with a specialized thermal camera system. With its compact dimensions measuring 18 x 18 x 17 cm, this drone is designed to navigate and provide critical thermal information within post-fire or post-explosion environments.
