Event-Based Sensor Visual-Inertial Odometry System: Have T-Rex

Abstract

This report presents the results of Project Have T-Rex, an evaluation of an event-based sensor (EBS) for event-based visual inertial odometry (EVIO) in a RASCAL pod on an F-16D. The LDTO was the AFTC. The ETO was the USAF TPS. The USAF TPS, Class 20A, conducted 13 test flights totaling 21.4 hours at Edwards AFB, California, from 08 to 21 September 2020. The overall test objective was to determine EVIO algorithm accuracy and collect data to support ongoing target detection and tracking algorithm development All objectives were met.
