You may be confused about the Skydio beacon. Drone is using visual tracking and avoidance until the subject is lost. The beacon comes into play when it visually loses subject and queries the GPS to find the subject again, flies to that tracking point, then re establishes visual tracking.🍻

It seems like they're using different sensor in front, doesn't it? Or the back & sides aren't programmed to respond with the data as when using the front camera. When losing tracking of you, I envision a b&w setting and when you pass through the shadows of the trees, you become one with the shadow. It seems like it almost needs a heat signature to focus on... but I do like the changes in the 4 vs the 3, based on the various videos I've watched. I kinda like the mini 4.

I agree.. on the bike he was traveling faster than a person would typically travel making it hard for the drone to see him and track him which was prolly throwing off the obstacle avoidance because Iv seen these drones not avoid well when they have to also try and find you or locate you at the same time.. it doesn’t know whether it should look for you or avoid an obstacle obstacle which causes it to not detect soon/early enough and crash. I think he should redo this test when he gets his replacement drone and try again Also it’s well known that the mini 4 doesn’t see pine trees very well.. pine trees for the mini sensors are like trees with no leaves basically so it had that going against it also

I'm not disappointed, but was hoping against hope for better results.

I am trying to further my understanding before I purchase one... my question from yours, as well as others content without you actually making note... when you are on the e-bike and in active tracking, the fact that the display shows two rings for selecting position means it identifies you as a "person" so assumes you are on foot walking...??? 1) Doesn't that put the software into a mode thinking you can only walk/run so fast... and that is the cause of it always saying you are moving too fast? 2) Can you change it to think you are an "object" like when in the vehicle so that it drops the "inner ring" and can allow you to travel faster (even tho you are still a person on a bike). My reason to want one it to capture video of me riding my adventure bike on dirt roads on my travels... seems not being able to track while driving 18-25mph is going to make it unusable for this application... Last thing... I think you need to have some lower level of expectation. I imagine if you are actually "flying" the drone using a lower resolution display (similar to the object avoidance cameras) and trying to zip along at 20mph AND predict the direction of travel... you as a human "pilot" would probably fly into a tree because you just cannot react fast enough... So, then, why do you expect the drone's reationary software to operate better than a "novice" drone pilot? maybe it is not possible yet...

In that corner where the drones keeps losing track, I am speculating that the drone is looking at the road trying to anticipate your forward direction. In the video I noticed there is a driveway at the curve. It possible the drone is calculating that you will continue on the driveway, which is less of a curve, rather than follow the sharper curve in the road (picking between the two). Without the driveway, it is likely the drone would follow the curve. Just an educated guess. Typically, any semi-pro use of the footage would be edited clips of just a few seconds. In other words, the tracking software is likely optimized for short, and highly controlled, scenarios. Clearly much more improvement can be done.

@DirtyBird Жыл бұрын
Definitely an extreme test tracking vehicles with trees on all sides. IMHO tracking moving vehicles from the front is never going to work well without a massive increase in computing power. The drone has no way of predicting which way the target or the roadway is going to turn, so it winds up out of position amid the trees. Also attempting an orbit on a moving target, on a narrow road with trees all around, is probably an unrealistic demand. Surviving the first crash mostly unscathed was good. Recovering from hitting the wire without falling to the asphalt was impressive. The final fatal crash goes back to my first comment regarding tracking from the front. You can see the drone failed to predict the turn, flew straight on as the road turned, then attempted to get back out front, ultimately leading to the inevitable fatal crash. Hopefully you had Refresh? $65 & a few days & you'll be back in the air with a new drone. I agree the Skydio is superior at sport tracking, however, in my opinion the recorded footage from a Skydio is terrible when it comes to cinematic quality. The Skydio dances all over the place like a squirrel in the roadway. It's like hiring the cameraman from the Blair Witch Project or Cloverfield. DJI wins the cinematic award every time. Also the Skydio isn't much fun to fly manually. For the ultimate tracking you need to put Joshua Bardwell in the passenger seat with an FPV quad. Then you'll have awesome tracking at highway speeds! :)
