Has anyone ever considered Tracking software for their UAVs using Cameras???

Ok the idea is that while fling around u see a sespious vehical. (parden the horrible spelling)
So u want the drone to lock on to that vehical and keep it in focus, by tracking it? or locking on or something??

Any body got any ideas???

Another thing worth noting about RoboRealm is the (recently added) ability to process a NMEA GPS stream directly, and draw a map in real-time. No Google Earth required. Even waypoints are supported. I have not experimented with any of this yet, but it looks intriguing.

Andrew.
In terms of vehicle tracking: cars are generally pretty unique as large moving objects and the speed at which they travel. People don't normally walk faster than a couple miles an hour.

If you were going to track them based on size, you may be able to compensate for elevation?
Thanks for the tips. The pixhawk IS very impressive.
