this is the current incarnation of the trycopter i built or at least the most recent photo i have it has changed from even this now

excellent, that sounds like it will be much more demanding then my next project of building the Y6, i love the idea of Doppler on the HUD to show direction, there are several new auto pilots out that might work for you, i am now waiting to get the new FY-91Q from Fyetech out of china, it has an auto hover mode that is very precise, you need to read the directions to see how it works but it requires you to hover in what they call auto balance mode and fly/hover using the trims! then once you have it very precise you engage the hover hold and it learns that setting and then repeats it the next time you use hover hold. ( i think i got that right anyway). a very cool piece of tech i have one on order can't wait to try it out. i will post my results here when i do hopefully along with video.
this system is supposed to fly hands off and has return to home also,
it might work for what you have planned
With some sort of CO-Pilot mode where it's a camera below like on a gunship.
Also looking to make a 3D object tracking program that will make it able to
1. Avoid objects in auto pilot mode
2. give realtime tracking of objects as aid in the HUD
(determining speed and distance of objects, and make a color overlay on all non-static objects, where the faster it moves the stronger the color overlay will be. to aid the pilot)
but most of this is just ideas, and will probably need a powerful processor to analyse and build the data needed.
also I think 3D view like this one (where the distance of the cameras from each-other is close to what human eyes are) will give a great advantage up to 2km or something like that (as long as it's not looking straight down)
yes the flight camera is 3D the ones i use to record video or still pictures is a go pro, and a standadr type of camera but the flight cam is very different, it is made by EMR labs out of Canada, and is a great piece of tech, it is very tough i have had a very bad crash and it took no damage, it uses standard lenses also so you can use any field of view you want you can adjust the exposure setting with a flip of a switch so if the ground is dark with a bright sky you just look at the ground for a few seconds and then when it lights up lock it there and now you can see the ground better for landings or whatever the same can be done with the image convergence so you can have a very strong 3D effect or very mild or even a 2d image for recording, this also helps when using a HUD it can be adjusted to it seems to float in the air like the ones in larger aircraft do. and the 3D effect is very useful even at high altitude i didn't think it would make much difference up high but boy was i wrong, you get a better feel for how the land rolls out to the horizon it really is very cool, granted i cant tell how big a given tree is up high but this is true of a full size aircraft as well, the camera can be purchased through new generation hobby i think it was about 300$ so its not cheap but it was worth it too me, when i fly in low over trees and buildings it is amazing to look down and into branches and roof lines, it helps with close in navigation so much i cant imagine flying without it anymore, also it has 480i resolution not really HD but still very good
so you're going to have 3D FPV or something like that?
or will do something else?
