Ok the idea is that while fling around u see a sespious vehical. (parden the horrible spelling)So u want the drone to lock on to that vehical and keep it in focus, by tracking it? or locking on or something??Any body got any ideas???
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
The capabilities you need are both object recognition and object tracking. If you were doing just one of the two I would suggest rolling your own. Since you have two or more high-level video processing requirements I also recommend utilizing existing frameworks like RR & OpenCV if possible. Don't underestimate the video processing speed requirements - especially if accuracy and repeatability are important.
Rolling you own is much more rewarding but takes lots of time and effort. What kind of rewards? My code captured and analyzed the latent IR image you see in my avatar - it is a jet doing 162.5mph (only a few feet off the ground). The camera is not moving and in a fixed position about 3ft off the ground.

Sorry i dont have $5000 for procerusuav.com products
Posibly an open sorce??
I think he means something like this
That would be neat, setting a point for the camera to look at, ands while it flies it's mission, the camera stays centered on the object you selected.
I don't know what camera they are using or anything, but it is Arduino controlled:

I want to make something similar, working on getting an ardupilot w/ camera setup ATM.
Here's a video off their site.
