• If flying in an altitude lower than the set standoff distance, OA will still seek to
avoid collisions, but the set standoff distance may not be maintained.
• When flying between structures always make sure that the set standoff distance
can be maintained in all directions.
• OA may not recognize:
• water and other transparent surfaces
• uniformly colored surfaces, like white walls
• surfaces with no clear texture
• small objects like tree branches.
• OA performance may get degraded, e.g.: stopping too early, seeing objects late,
not maintaining the set standoff distance under the following circumstances:
• surfaces with repetitive patterns, like tiling or corrugated iron
• low light conditions
• fog/snow/rain
• flying straight towards low sun, after/before sunrise/sunset
• flying between buildings/structures, where GPS signal may get obstructed.
Figure 2.29: Obstacle Avoidance: directions covered
Each RealSense module covers a
field of view of 91.2 degrees
horizontally and 58.0 degrees
vertically. With one module facing
forward and one 90° sideways to the
left, a total field of view of
approximately 180° is created.
The two different cones of the two
RealSense modules touch each other
in a distance approximately 2600
mm from the camera.
CAUTION: THE UAV CANNOT DETECT ANY OBSTACLES OUTSIDE OF THE
ABOVE-DESCRIBED FIELDS OF VIEW.
