Drone Programming with Python - Face Recognition & Tracking

Operating drone with network programming, face recognition using OpenCV, automatic tracking, implementing web camera

What you'll learn

Remote automatic drone operation using Python
Face recognition programming using OpenCV
How to implement a web camera app using Flask's web framework
Automatic tracking using face recognition with drone camera


Requirements

Basic level of python programming.
Good to have knowledge of network, WiFi and IP address, as we will be connecting the drones through WiFi

Description

As you may know, robot technology is now very advanced. As an engineer working in one of the top IT companies in Silicon Valley for over 12 years, I feel that the trend to replace humans with robots will continue for quite a long time

In this course, we will be going to learn the following, using a toy drone that can fly indoors.

-Drone operation using Python

-Face recognition with OpenCV using the drone camera

-Web framework and web camera

-Automatic tracking

-Drone flight game (shake your smartphone)

Starting off with a toy drone will be a great way to start off your robot programming experience while you get used to Python. This is also an easy and fun way for your children to start coding. Now, let's get started with drone programming and be ahead of the robot technology trend!

Who this course is for:

People who are interested in programming drones.
People who are interested in the next generation of autonomous driving and elementary image recognition
People who are willing to develop an app using Python
