Keshav Balaji contributed to the ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software repository by developing and refining real-time sensor fusion and detection features over a three-month period. He implemented a complementary filter in C++ to fuse gyroscope and accelerometer data, improving orientation accuracy and tilt estimation for embedded systems. Keshav stabilized the Extended Kalman Filter by addressing memory management and reorganizing aerodynamic coefficient handling, enhancing both reliability and maintainability. He also introduced a background thread for periodic feather detection, leveraging real-time operating system techniques such as thread core pinning. His work demonstrated depth in sensor fusion, Kalman filtering, and embedded software development for aerospace applications.

February 2025 monthly performance summary for ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software. Focused on stabilizing the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), reorganizing the aerodynamic coefficient handling, and cleaning the codebase to simplify maintenance. Key changes delivered memory management fixes in the EKF, a refactor of the aerodynamic model to improve organization and potential accuracy, and targeted codebase cleanup. Also addressed a minor EKF syntax issue to ensure clean builds. Overall, these efforts reduce memory leak risk, improve model clarity, and lower maintenance costs while preserving or improving run-time stability.
