Design and implementation of a quadcopter with image reconstruction and object detection

Abstract

Aerial robotics is seen to be one of the most dominant aspects in several areas in the last few years, and one special type of the flying robots are quadcopters, which are of an important use nowadays to ease the way of our life. This project is about building a quadcopter, and implementing a control algorithm to stabilize the system, the second aspect is to develop a ground control station equipped with two image processing applications using Emgu.CV. The GCS communicates with the quadcopter in order to take aerial pictures and perform image reconstruction from the captured ones, the second application is to detect a specific object in the reconstructed image or from any other captured scene.
