| Name: | Issuing Quadrotor-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Q-UAV) Orders via Gesture Recognition | |
| You will learn: | Kinect, Gesture recognition, Q-UAV control | |
| Difficulty: | moderate-hard | |
| Excitement: | Quadrotor Unamnned Aerial Vehicles (Q-UAV), also know as Quadrocopters, are presently very popular. They are utilized as toys for the general public, a research platform for 3D navigation, for inspecting power lines or for military reconnaissance missions. Currently the control mechanism of a Q-UAV are very limited, capitalizing on known game controllers (gamepad, joystick etc.) or touch interfaces. these controllers can not be used in every situation, either they are not available or not suitable for the application. Gesture and body movement recognition utilizing Kinect can provide a mean to control or issue orders to a Q-UAV.

| Description: |
The aim of the thesis is to explore the Kinect technology in respect to creating motion and gesture recognition for issuing commands to a Quadrotor Unamnned Aerial Vehicles (Q-UAV). The result of the thesis should be a library and prototype application capable of utilizing the Kinect and an AR Drone Q-UAV. The thesis should be designed in close cooperation with the AADrone project .
This is a unique opportunity to get into true real-life research in the field of drone. |
