#Get an AR drone to follow a target or person.
The plan is to have a quad-copter drone hover at a set position from an AR target. A person could wear this target or we could put it on something moving.
At this point in the project, we only have a minimal Android app that allows the drone to take off vertically and then land back down again.
It has been difficult to get the SDK provided by Parrot to do what we want---getting a video feed off the drone and into an app has been tricky.
And there is currently no AR target tracker implemented. There is a face detector which could provide input to a navigation system for the drone, but it is not actually implemented at the moment.
#TODO
-
Consider refactoring the native SDK to be easier to use, possibly an all-Java solution would make more sense on Android
-
Find an image tracking library that can take a feed from the drone and locate an AR target
