thanks for taking the time to read, and hopefully help me.
I have an AR.Drone 2.0 that I have already started to program/develop. I am using python for coding with opencv for the image processing. I want to be able to feedback this code to the drone. I was thinking about obtaining frames from the video stream and have the AR.Drone perform some tasks based upon the images. I, however, don't know where to start. It would be helpful for me if someone can point me in the right direction.
import numpy as np
import cv2
# open the camera
cap = cv2.VideoCapture('tcp://192.168.1.1:5555')
def nothing(x):
pass
cv2.namedWindow('result')
# Starting with 100's to prevent error while masking
h,s,v = 100,100,100
# Creating track bar
cv2.createTrackbar('h', 'result',0,179,nothing)
cv2.createTrackbar('s', 'result',0,255,nothing)
cv2.createTrackbar('v', 'result',0,255,nothing)
while True:
#read the image from the camera
ret, frame = cap.read()
#You will need this later
frame = cv2.cvtColor(frame, 35)
#converting to HSV
hsv = cv2.cvtColor(frame,cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)
# get info from track bar and appy to result
h = cv2.getTrackbarPos('h','result')
s = cv2.getTrackbarPos('s','result')
v = cv2.getTrackbarPos('v','result')
# Normal masking algorithm
lower_blue = np.array([h,s,v])
upper_blue = np.array([180,255,255])
mask = cv2.inRange(hsv,lower_blue, upper_blue)
result = cv2.bitwise_and(frame,frame,mask = mask)
cv2.imshow('result',result)
#find center
cnts=cv2.findContours(mask.copy(), cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)[-2]
center=None
if len(cnts)>0:
c=max(cnts, key=cv2.contourArea)
((x,y),radius)=cv2.minEnclosingCircle(c)
M=cv2.moments(c)
center=(int(M["m10"] / M["m00"]), int(M["m01"] / M["m00"]))
if radius>10:
#cv2.circle(frame, (int(x),int(y)), int(radius), 2)
cv2.circle(frame, center,5,(0,0,255),-1)
# color detection limits
lB = 5
lG = 50
lR = 50
hB = 15
hG = 255
hR = 255
lowerLimits = np.array([lB, lG, lR])
upperLimits = np.array([hB, hG, hR])
# Our operations on the frame come here
thresholded = cv2.inRange(frame, lowerLimits, upperLimits)
outimage = cv2.bitwise_and(frame, frame, mask = thresholded)
cv2.imshow('original', frame)
# Display the resulting frame
cv2.imshow('processed',outimage)
# Quit the program when Q is pressed
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
# When everything done, release the capture
print 'closing program'
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()'
