The Wildlife Encounter and Avoid task requires the UAV to identify objects of interest and inform the WAM-V to circumnavigate the object. These objects of interest will represent Australian Marine Life such as platypi, turtles and crocodiles and will each be painted in distinct coatings with unique spectral signatures to enable identification and classification with a hyperspectral camera. To successfully circle the marine life, the AMS must transit around them until it has crossed its original path, transiting at least 360 degrees. The clockwise/counter-clockwise direction will be based on the classification of the marine life by their spectral signatures.
Our solution is highlighted in the above flowchart.
The experimental results are as follows:
