hii all, i might be posting this in the wrong place, my apologies in advanced.
im in need of a person/guide of doing the following:
on the same computer i have mission planner running and another image proccesing progam(IMP) runnig simultaneously. the IMP takes in live video and locates targets, it can obtain the lat/long cooardinates of these targets. is there any way that i can relay these cooardonates to mission planenr and upon receving these cooardinates give an arm and takoff command to the drone and make him fly in guided mode to the said cooardinates? important side note, the cooardinates are updated live ( the IMP is using a live video stream), so on the first command i need an arm and takeoff command, and the following commands are guided commands.
so is this possible? is there anyone who can assist? with compensation of course.
Thanks in advanced
Sounds very interesting! How does the image processing software make the coordinates available when a new target is found or updated? For example does it have some API or does it write it to a file or something?
The automatic arming, take-off, switching to guided mode and following the coordinates provided by the software could most likely be done with a Mission Planner plugin.
Suppose you would also need to make it “smart” in the sense that it should first check if the new position is close enough to reach (and return or land at a nearby rally point) with the current state of charge of the batteries and things like that.
Just out of further interest, do you need the system to function completely autonomous without any human approval or monitoring of missions? Would the system need to control multiple drones (and have logic to select the one closest to the target) or would it always only be a single drone?
