      Hi,

      I would like to implement "Follow Me" feature on VOXL or VOXL 2 using available cameras of Seeker/VOXL m500/Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G Platform/Sentinel drones.

      I would like to know :

      1. Is there any integrated solution available ?
      2. If integrated solution is not available then which modules are required to implement the feature and their integration steps.

      Thanks & Regards,
      Iqbal

        There is not a pre-built solution available in the VOXL SDK.

        The VOXL SDK has the enabling components for such a feature. Take a look at the VOXL SDK docs, you should find a lot of useful tools.

          Thanks for the response.

          We have go through VOXL SDK docs and found that there are multiple components available to build solutions for collision avoidance and GPS denied navigation. However we are not able to get any clue on how to implement "Follow-Me" feature.

          The detail of our requirement is as follows:

          1. The MIPI CSI Hi-resolution camera would be mounted on a gimbal with its MIPI output come directly to VOXL MIPI input. This Hi-resolution camera would be used for video capture as well as object detection.

          2. The object detected above shall be tracked by combination of drone and gimbal.

          Let us know the top level solution for above where by VOXL SDK software components are listed as well as software components required outside of VOXL SDK. There after we can implement the solution using VOXL SDK.

          Thanks & Regards,
          Iqbal

            Dear @Chad-Sweet ,

            This is gentle reminder of my previous post.

              We do not have a ready to go follow me system. You will have to design it on your own.

                Dear @Chad-Sweet ,

                Thanks for your response. We would like to design it on our own but I have some queries regarding computational power of VOXL/VOXL2.

                1. If any feasibility study has been done for implementation of follow-Me features on VOXL/VOXL2 with respect to on-board computational resources.

                2. Please let me know if any known issue is there for follow-Me feature implementation.

                3. If any functional block has to be build in respect to available functional block on VOXL SDK.

                Regards,
                Iqbal

                    VOXL 2 is more than sufficient to run follow me. We prototyped similar things on VOXL 1. We just don't have any reference code available for you to try, you will need to write it yourself
