OPTICALFLOW.flowcompmx etc. In both telemetry and dataflash logs didn't look right. In both cases, the values reported by the Copter didn't look right (values were too small, biased towards one direction only, less frequently updated, etc.). Although they look OK if you connect to PX4FLOW and look at the mavlink data directly. PX4 Toolchain Installer v14 for Windows Download (32/64 bit systems, complete build system, drivers) PX4 USB Drivers (32/64 bit systems) Bash on Windows (NEW!) Windows users can alternatively install a slightly modified Ubuntu Linux PX4 development environment within Bash on Windows, and use it to build firmware for NuttX/Pixhawk targets.

QGroundControldesktop versions can install PX4 Pro or ArduPilot firmware onto Pixhawk-family flight-controller boards. By default QGC will install the current stable version of the selected autopilot, but you can also choose to install beta builds, daily builds, or custom firmware files.

Download via laptops app. QGroundControl can also install the firmware for SiK Radios and PX4 Flow devices.

Loading Firmware is currently not available on tablet or phone versions of QGroundControl.

Connect Device for Firmware Update

Before you start installing Firmware all USB connections to you vehicle must be disconnected (both direct or through a telemetry radio). The vehicle must not be powered by a battery.

1. First select the Gear icon (Vehicle Setup) in the top toolbar and then Firmware in the sidebar.

2. Connect your device (Pixhawk, SiK Radio, PX4 Flow) directly to your computer via USB.

   Connect directly to a powered USB port on your machine (do not connect through a USB hub).

Select Firmware to Load

Once the device is connected you can choose which firmware to load (QGroundControl presents sensible options based on the connected hardware).

1. For a Pixhawk-compatible board choose either PX4 Flight Stack vX.X.X Stable Release or ArduPilot Flight Stack radio buttons to download the current stable release.

   If you select ArduPilot you will also have to choose the specific firmware the type of vehicle (as shown below).

2. Check Advanced settings to select specific developer releases or install firmware from your local file system.

Update the firmware

1. Click the OK button to start the update.

   The firmware will then proceed through a number of upgrade steps (downloading new firmware, erasing old firmware etc.). Each step is printed to the screen and overall progress is displayed on a progress bar.

Once the firmware has completed loading the device/vehicle will reboot and reconnect. Next you will need to configure the airframe (and then sensors, radio, etc.)

Optical Flow SDK exposes the latest hardware capability of Turing GPUs dedicated to computing the relative motion of pixels between images. The hardware uses sophisticated algorithms to yield highly accurate flow vectors, which are robust to frame-to-frame intensity variations, and track the true object motion. Computation of these flow vectors is faster than most other available methods at comparable accuracy, with very little load on CPU or GPU, as the vectors are computed on dedicated hardware which is independent of the GPU’s CUDA cores.

Key Features

NVIDIA Optical Flow SDK exposes a new set of APIs for this hardware functionality:

• C-API – Windows and Linux
• Windows – CUDA and DirectX
• Linux – CUDA
• Granularity: 4x4 vectors at ¼ pixel resolution
• Raw vectors – directly from hardware
• Pre-/post-processed vectors via algorithms to improve accuracy
• Accuracy: low average EPE (End-Point-Error) and outliers
• Performance: Up to 150 fps at 4K resolution*
• Robust to intensity changes
• OpenCV integration (GitHub)
• NEW to 2.0: - Support for Ampere generation GPUs, with improved optical flow hardware engine, independent of NVENC
• NEW to 2.0: - Increased accuracy in flow vector’s cost, which indicates the confidence of the vector

Optical Flow - Typical Use-Cases

Optical Flow benefits use-cases such as

• Object tracking for intelligent video analytics
• Video frame interpolation, and extrapolation
• Stereo depth estimation
• Video action recognition

Until a few years ago, intelligent videos analytics (IVA) required physical viewing and manual analysis of the captured videos. With rapid developments in computer vision and deep learning techniques, most of such analysis is now automated. Identifying the objects/persons/vehicles of interest from security camera footage, and tracking them across the video frames can be achieved using computer vision algorithms. GPUs are a natural choice of platform for running these applications because of high computational complexity and parallelism requirements. The most common method is to detect and identify the objects/persons/vehicles of interest in every video frame and running an algorithm to correlate the objects in successive frames to track their movement. This method, although accurate, suffers from extremely high computational complexity requirements, since the object detection/identification is a computationally intensive operation (typically using neural network inference).

The hardware optical flow engine alleviates the computational complexity requirements significantly by helping the tracking of objects. For example, once an object is detected/identified by the detector, it can be tracked in successive video frames by an algorithm based on GPU’s hardware optical flow. This eliminates the need for running the detection algorithm every frame, resulting in a massive reduction in computational complexity. The detector can now run every Kth frame without compromising the accuracy (K > 1, typically K = 4). This leaves the GPU’s CUDA cores free to run inference on additional channels or other computationally intensive tasks.

Optical Flow SDK 2.0 includes an object tracker library based on optical flow, along with source code and ready-to-use API. In our experiments, the optical flow-based object tracker has shown to reduce the GPU utilization by up to 80%, compared to some of the most popular algorithms without compromising the accuracy of tracking.

Optical flow can also be used very effectively for interpolating or extrapolating the video frames in real-time. This can be useful in improving the smoothness of video playback, generating slow-motion videos or reducing the apparent latency in VR experience, as used by Oculus (details)

Optical Flow functionality in Turing and Ampere GPUs accelerates these use-cases by offloading the intensive flow vector computation to a dedicated hardware engine on the GPU silicon, thereby freeing up GPU and CPU cycles for other tasks. This functionality in hardware is independent of CUDA cores.

FAQ

A: After you download the SDK, please refer to the 'ReadMe.txt' which lists the minimum required display driver version. You need to install the right drivers or else the SDK will fail to start and this is the first thing you should check in case there is an initialization failure.

A: The client application should query the capabilities using the the capability API before enabling any feature. Graphic products printers drivers.

A: We strongly recommend all application developers to go through the programming guides in detail before writing any application. In particular, for some hints on this question, please go through the following section in the documentation:

1. 'Guidelines for Efficient Usage of NVOF API' in NVOF API Programming Guide, included in the Optical Flow SDK

A: The Optical Flow SDK provides samples specifically designed to give optimal performance. You can measure performance using any of the samples.

A: NVOF API exposes APIs which allow users to query the maximum API versions supported by the underlying driver. Depending on the maximum API version supported by driver, the application can launch code at runtime compiled with the appropriate API.

A: Please refer to the NVOFA application note included in the SDK documentation to get an idea about performance. The performance depends on many factors, some of which include: GPU in use and its clock speed, settings used(for e.g. preset, grid size and features like ROI), memory bandwidth available, application design.
