Unmanned aerial vehicle, inspection method, and storage medium

This is a drone equipped with a camera for inspecting objects. It automatically tracks the object's position and adjusts the camera's angle to keep it in the shot. If the object goes out of frame for a certain amount of time, the drone records that the image capture failed.

Why it matters: Real-time object tracking and computer vision on drone platforms have significantly advanced since 2020, making the core functionality more reliable and efficient to implement. This reduces the complexity of the detection and angle control units.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateObject tracking software, camera gimbal control
