Hey everyone. I am trying to modify a drone to autonomously launch and land from a moving target. Ive read alot on the different ways to achieve this, but i dont know which way would be most accurate/ cost effective. Would really appreciate the help. Thanks

Optical Flow is supposed to be put back into ArduCopter software (i.e. pixhawk and APM's software) again within a few months. It is the same optical tracking used in an optical mouse, but different.. That and Follow Me would probably do this well. I'm not sure how well the software would handle a situation in which it is being told to land using optical flow, but knows it is moving, according to GPS and accelerometers) at a pretty decent rate. You would just have to try. If it doesn't do things right, you could ask the developers to improve the performance.
Would modify the follow me code and add input from a flow sensor, that way you can land on a pinpoint regaurdless of moving
a flow sensor? Thats the first ive heard of that. Where would i get one ?
