An environment simulation framework for the development and testing of environment perception algorithms will be designed. This simulation framework will be capable to include dynamic drone models of different drones together with sensor models and will take environmental conditions, like weather and illumination, into account. Furthermore, the simulation framework will be extended to perform video streaming and hardware-in-the-loop tests of individual drone components. In the simulated environment, path planning algorithms that dynamically detect and avoid obstacles will be developed and tested. Recorded stereo camera data from Demo 3.1 will be used to validate the depth estimation by stereo matching that will be developed in this demonstrator.
