- 5. www.bluejayeindhoven.nl Biggest challenge 04 Accurate indoor navigation Flying indoor and between people = no room for error! - The drone will fly more stable when it flies itself (autonomous) - But, existing solutions arent accurate enough
- 6. www.bluejayeindhoven.nl Our solution 04 Visible light communication: cm exact indoor navigation Online database - Every LED lamp has its own recognizable frequency - An online database holds the position of every lamp and is accessed by the drone - The camera of your smartphone registers the composed light and calculates your position with respect to the known configuration of the lamps Unique and precise solution within robotics domain but one problem: people only walk in the x- and y-plane need for sensor fusion

Editor's Notes
- #11: In mijn bachelor eindproject ben ik vorig jaar bezig geweest met herkenning van draaiingshoek van een gezicht. Ik heb toen verschillende soorten neurale netwerken getraind op databases van fotos van gezichten met meerdere draaiingshoeken en verlichtingshoeken. In deze grafiek zie je een van de betere resultaten. Hier heb ik ook gebruik gemaakt van de grootste trainingsdatabase met de meeste variantie. Nu aan jullie de vraag, hoeveel fotos heb ik hiervoor gebruikt denken jullie?
