About the Project

This is my collection of projects written mostly in Python with the purpose of completing different tasks with the Ryze Tello drone

Here is a preview of the scripts in action:

There are three different folders: Projects, Modules and Automation.

The Automation folder contains:

• some Python scripts to automate actions for the drone
• repetitive actions of the drone

This part is a work-in-progress

The Modules folder contains:

• an OpenCV script for face detection using Haar Cascades
• a module to register the keyboard as a controller
• a module used to the tweak the image HUE and Saturation(for the Line Follow project)
• an ImageCapture module to register the stream from the Ryze Tello

The Projects folder contains:

• a script that makes the drone follow the face of a human(FaceTracking.py). Note: The drone must takeoff prior to running the script
• a script to control the drone with the keyboard(KeyboardControl.py). Note: It does not have image streaming from the drone
• a script to control the drone with the keyboard and can take videos and photos(SurveillanceDroneControl.py).
• a script to map the drone path(controlled with the keyboard) that can be used to return to the takeoff zone(MappingControl.py). Note: Because the drone is very light, it can be moved by the wind, thus the mapping can be inaccurate
• a script that makes drone follow a line that was set prior to the running of the script(also needs to takeoff before the script is running).

Built With

For the Tello commands, I used this project because it already has the commands that are used to control the drone. As for other packages, I used NumPy and OpenCV. The Haar Cascades used in this project are provided here

Run Locally

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/Mars-Zero/DroneProjects

Go to the project directory

  cd DroneProjects

Install dependencies

  python -m pip install pygame
  python -m pip install cv2
  python -m pip install djitellopy
  python -m pip install numpy

Start which module you want in the Automation or Projects folders For example:

   python -i FaceTracking.py

Alternatively, open with your editor of choice and run FaceTracking.py
