A general purpose motion capture system built from the ground up, used to autonomously fly multiple drones indoors
Install the pseyepy python library: https://github.com/bensondaled/pseyepy
install npm and yarn
From the computer_code directory Run yarn install to install node dependencies
Then run yarn run dev to start the webserver. You will be given a url view the frontend interface.
In another terminal window, run python3 api/index.py to start the backend server. This is what receives the camera streams and does motion capture computations.
The documentation for this project is admittedly pretty lacking, if anyone would like to put type definitions in the Python code that would be amazing and probably go a long way to helping the readability of the code. Feel free to also use the discussion tab to ask questions.
My blog post has some more information about the drones & camera: joshuabird.com/blog/post/mocap-drones
Watch this for information about the project & a demo!
