Search and Rescue with a Drone

Programming search patterns for search and rescue using a DJI Tello Drone in Python

#Python#School#Projects

In 11th grade, we had to write a research paper on any topic in one of our subjects. I chose to write my paper in computer science and programmed a toy drone that I owned. The model I used was the "Tello" by DJI and Ryzen, which has a Python SDK available. Using this SDK and OpenCV, I programmed the drone to search for missing persons using search patterns commonly used by divers. Once it detects a person, it lands and displays its current position.
