This repo was created to do some PoCs to place all toghrther:Go,DJI Tello drone,gobot andgocv

This is a simple program that just let the Tello drone detect a face and follow it automatically. You can also control the Tello drone from the keyboardStack:

• OpenCV (via gocv) and caffe (for face detection)
• https://gobot.io/documentation/platforms/keyboard/
• https://gobot.io/documentation/platforms/tello/
• ffmpeg for video compression

Before starting, you must have installed:

• ffmpeg
• OpenCV: it can be installed by installing gocvhttps://gocv.io/getting-started/

First, connect to the drone's Wi-Fi network from your computer. It will be named something like "TELLO-XXXXXX".Then, run the program:go run ./facetracking/facetracking.go

Once program is started it, opens a window where video from the Tello drone will be streamed.

It is also listening for any key pressed on the console to control the drone:

So, you need to:

• run the program
• then take off (1 or2)
• put your face in front of the Tello camera (you should see a rectangle in the video window)
• then start tracking (T)
• Move yourself so the drone can follow you(consider slow movements as this program is not optimized yet to support very fast movements)
• Once you are done, then pressT again to let the drone stop tracking
