Real-Time 3D Tracking at 80 Hz, 12-20 ms | Marvelmind

ⓘ Indoor Drone Positioning Technology

The question this demo answers is how fine a detail Marvelmind ultrasound + IMU sensor fusion resolves in the Non-Inverse Architecture (NIA). A 30 x 30 cm square, just under 1 x 1 ft, is small enough that any noise, lag or drift would round its corners and bend its edges. Here the shape is preserved, including both diagonals, so the position is both accurate and consistent. Rotating the view checks the third axis: the square stays a thin flat "pancake" at a constant height from every angle, so the height is as accurate as X and Y. That matters for drones holding altitude indoors. The fast blue dots are the real-time IMU sensor fusion output: 80 Hz updates with 12-20 ms latency. The golden dots that follow are the post-processed track, the most verified layer, which arrives a little later. Seeing both layers together shows that the real-time data is already close to the final verified track. For indoor drones this is the point: a PixHawk drone takes the fused position directly from the mobile beacon, and a DJI drone, whose flight logic runs outside the drone, receives it on the modem side through the RHU. Configuration: 3 Super-Beacons as stationary beacons, 1 Super-Beacon-4 as the mobile beacon, 1 Modem HW v5.1 as the modem and 1 Modem HW v5.1 as the RHU.
