A study on smart drone using quadcopter and object tracking techniques

Abstract

In this research, we developed a smart drone system based on quad copter with integrated object tracking algorithm for scene analysis. We tool advantage of theory of quad rotor flight and PID control for not only stable hovering but also stable image acquisition. For object tracking, we integrated color information and optical flow with nonlinear matched filter of spatial frequency domain. Furthermore, we proposed a solution for safer experiment environment configuration.
