Progress Report 2/8/16


  • Progress:
    • Created a more accurate image processing program, which detects "blobs" of pixels. Blobs have to be a certain size or they will be disregarded. This helps to get rid of noise and unwanted detection.
    • Added a prompt script into the code, asking the user for a room before the drone proceeds with the movement. 
    • The marker resembles a light skin color, which often gets the drone confused when a face is present within the photo. Changing the color or creating a marker with two different colors could probably fix this issue. 
    • Some future plans:
      • Blob detection through recursion
      • Creating pre-determined flight plans for rooms
    • Problems:
      • The image processing program is not constantly accurate
      • We can't get horizontal movement to work alongside with vertical movement 
      • Pre-determined flight plans, while successful, could take a long period of time to accomplish
