summary

Uses ar-drone-autonomy plus an EKF and PID controller to plan and execute missions and perform basic maneuvers (takeoff, climb 0.5 m, rotate 45°) and uses node-opencv on the drone image stream to detect faces and compute offsets to orient the craft toward the largest face. Demo builds a face‑tracking system on a parrot air Drone 2.0 that moves up/down and rotates based on x/y error and sometimes succeeds but is fragile in the live demo due to Wi‑Fi and lighting.
