Autonomous Gesture-controlled Drone

This project implements an autonomous drone system capable of responding to human gestures for various tasks such as approaching, taking photos, and returning to home position.

Features

Gesture recognition for drone control
Autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance
Real-time image processing for human detection and tracking
Mission planning and execution
PID controller for smooth and stable flight

System Architecture

Prerequisites

ROS Melodic
OpenCV
Eigen
