Dynamic Track and Follow Using Quadcopter

Deepanshu Sharma, Rakesh Menon, P. Abhiraj, Ajay Ovhal

Abstract


We will be aiming to create a quad-copter system where we’ll program the given quad-copter drone such that it will be able to detect and follow a moving object in real time. The project will be using advanced control systems and computer vision to make sure the quad-copter doesn’t lose track of its target. Cameras will be set up on the drone to continuously take images of the object if it enters the area covered. Real time image processing will be done so that live co-ordinates are calculated. The drone, on accepting these co-ordinates, will travel to the location it receives and hover above the location pending further instructions. The project will also aim to be fully automated; “Switch on and Forget” will be the goal. There are a varied number of applications for this device, namely , tracking of an Olympic sprinter as he makes his way along the track, or as a surveillance drone that moves into action when an intruder enters the mapped grid, etc.
