Fixed-wing UAV
Autonomous fixed-wing UAV with computer vision
Autonomous flight and real-time computer vision for a fixed-wing UAV: OpenCV detects and classifies ground targets by colour and shape, and DroneKit flies the mission around what it sees.
My roleAutonomy and computer vision software
- colour & shape target detection
- OpenCV
- autonomous flight
- DroneKit
- decisions from visual data
- Real time
An autonomous flight and computer vision system for a fixed-wing UAV, combining real-time image processing with autonomous flight control.
OpenCV-based algorithms detect and classify targets from their colour and geometric characteristics. A DroneKit-based flight system controls the aircraft, processes flight data and runs predefined mission logic based on the detected targets, so decisions are made in real time from what the camera sees.
