G’Day all,
Recently I received preliminary grant funding to survey for the Rice’s Whales in the Gulf of Mexico.
The payload will consist of a Sony ILX-LR1 camera (and 56mm lens) connected via HDMI to a NVIDEA Jetson Orin (DEV-22098) and flown at 2500ft - 5000ft AGL. Intention is to have the Orin run a neural net to identify the detected species during a grid search in a BVLOS mission in the gulf. Would this combination work, or would there be data input/processing limitations of attempting to analyze photos in-flight? Photo capture rate would be approximately every 2.5 seconds.
Work began under my research here and it’s progressively grown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=QYSJkLY2kvU
Any technical advice to make this succeed would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
