Face Detection and Tracking with Dji Tello drone

This is an implementation of face detection and tracking on the dji Tello drone based on a HAAR Cascade using OpenCV and Python 3.6.

The current implementation allows the user to:

Launch the drone through the command line using python main.py
Receive video feed from the drone to the computer and visualize the face detection carried out by the drone

It allows the drone to:

Detect multiple faces at any given frame
Position the user at the center of any shot by deciding the best movement based on the users x, y and z coordinates

Note: Current implementation allows only tracking of 1 user.

Quick Start

To initialize your drone and get it up and running, simply clone the repository and download its dependencies with:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Afterwards, connect to the drones wifi and run:

python main.py

This will make the drone take off and initialize a video feed directly from the drone to your computer.

Fix warning messages when executing the command and waitning for drone video feed
Support drone centering with multiple users in a shot
Optimize code for better video performance
Implement trainable model for face recognition into the detection process (Follow just certain faces)
