drone-CV

Computer Vision research for Cornell's Aerial Robotics Team. The goal is to give our drone the ability to navigate as well and recognize objects (such as a red circle) which trigger actions (following / approaching the red circle)

Requirements

Raspberry Pi 3

Software Used

The software we will be using:

• FastAi's library, which uses PyTorch

• OpenCV

Setup and Misc Resources

1. Installing OpenCV on a raspberry pi 3

2. Accessing the Raspberry Pi Camera with OpenCV and Python

3. Basic motion detection and tracking with Python and OpenCV

4. Building a classifier (to detect red circles, for example) using fast.ai

Other approaches to investigate

Object Detection Using TensorFlow

Set up TensorFlow Object Detection API on the Raspberry Pi
