Drone SDK supporting free-flight control

This is my first time getting into drones. I am looking at DJI drones, currently as it seems most promising from a documentation and reviews point of view.

Basically, I would like to program a drone(s) to fly a certain pattern and take pictures when a certain criteria is met. For example, I would like the drone to take off and fly around a small park, stopping to take a picture of each tree it encounters, automatically (auto-piloted / driven by some "AI").

Now I glanced thru the DJI SDK documentation, and so far it SEEMS this is possible (via FlightControl class). But im not sure.

Question:

Can my requirements be met with current drone SDK technologies?

Solution

  • Yes, the correct SDK, 4.11.1 will do everything you mentioned. You will need to do some location calculations but that's about it.

    The sample will almost do everything you want as-is, with minor changes.
