The repository can be used for a complete drone simulation for aerial simulation. It contains the model of a drone with down facing camera in a gazebo world (a lake).

**Description:** IIT Indore has a considerable land area under
thick forest cover. In the blazing hot summers of Indore (as
we all have experienced), there are chances of bushes
catching fire and escalating to a forest fire. To prevent
it, an aerial surveying drone equipped with infrared cameras
and other sensors can be used to predict the areas which are
potential hotspots.
To run this repositiory please clone the repository to your local machine:

**Specifications:**
- Recognize abnormally high-temperature spots of the
forest cover to detect and signal the ground station
immediately.
- Identify high-risk areas that generally have higher
temperatures than average.
- Bonus Points for generalising the approach for
detecting animals (such as wild boar herds and
leopards) on our campus.
Dependencies:
i. This is made for ROS Noetic and Ubuntu 20.04.
ii. ArduCopter 4.0.4
iii. MAVROS and MAVLink
iv. Gazebo 11
v. Python3

For package creation instructions see [here](/docs/INSTRUCTIONS.md)
To run the simulation please run the following commands in the terminal with all the dependencies satisfied:
(Run these codes in your catkin workspace)
i. catkin build
ii. source devel/setup.bash
iii. roslaunch iq_sim lake_travis.launch
In new terminal
iv. cd iq_sim/scripts/
v. ./startsitl.sh
In new terminal
vi. source devel/setup.bash
vii. roslaunch iq_sim apm.launch
In new terminal
viii. rosrun iq_gnc square.py
In new terminal
ix. rqt_image_view

To run the colab files, upload the pictures being send by the drone on google colab or use the loacl machines for image processing.
