Usage of graphic processor Tegra K1 in image processing application on board UAVs

Presented in this paper is the design for a device for the processing and storage of graphic information, received from payload onboard a UAV. Defined the required functionality of the device. Reviewed the different variants for processing the flow of video frames. Defined optimal algorithms. Conducted computer and full-scale simulation, the result of research and experimental model of the device. Conducted ground and flight tests of the device using a flight laboratory SVS A20 and AK with the UVA “Jupiter”. Research results provide the basis for development for serial production of the device. Reviewed perspectives on the development of current trends.
