Methodology

Throughout the duration of this project, the following methodology will be followed:

  • Acquire the required hardware for this project (Parrot AR-Drone).
  • Research the image processing methods most suitable for the task at hand.
  • Research the machine learning methods that may be most useful for categorizing features in the drone video stream.
  • Decide which approach to follow regarding and which methods to use.
  • Divide the system into three phases (specify and design the architecture of the system), and implement each one using the previously researched methods:
    • Autonomous flight.
    • Object recognition.
    • Avoidance commands.
  • Redaction of the final report and presentation.
