#Drone 🚁 – Detect Squirrels 🐿️ and Space Wolves 🐺 from a drone camera using Python 🐍

Hi !

In a couple of hours, I’ll host a session where I show how to control a drone using Python 🐍; and also how to access the drone camera and apply AI on top of the camera feed.

Python SWFL – Let’s code a drone to follow faces

In example, this is the drone doing a simple face detection on me (in my old office)

animation of the drone performing face detection

If you want to know more, I write a lot about how to do this using Python and OpenCV, please check the references section.

And in the meantime, here is the full final demo.

Happy coding!

Greetings

El Bruno
