Drone Boat Tracking Algorithm
Features:
-
Implementation of YOLOv3 neural network in conjunction with OpenCV to detect and track boats.
-
Multithreaded implementation prevents I/O bottlenecks from camera input and drone input
-
Computes coordinates based on drone position and orientation, gimbal orientation, and location of boat on image (requires knowledge of camera parameters)
Todo:
- Add thread flowchart
- Implement drone data collection once drone is set up
- Create implementation guide
