Raspberry Pi Speed Sign Detector: Overview

In my introduction post I mentioned that this blog will be focused on the  process of designing a UAV. The majority of content on here will stick with that, but I thought it might be good to occasionally share some other projects I'm interested in. So in this post I'll introduce a speed sign detection algorithm using OpenCV on the Raspberry Pi 3. It will contain the current state of things and future plans. I'll upload the source code to a repository after I flatten out some bugs.

Sensor fusion and orientation estimation


In this post I'm going to share the results of fusing an accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer together in order to obtain a rotating body's attitude. It contains implementations of two non-linear Kalman Filters: the Extended Kalman Filter and the Unscented Kalman Filter. All code can be found at the project repository here under the navigation directory.
