Design of Real-Time Vehicle Tracking System for Drones Based on ROS

When using vehicles to hunt down criminal vehicles, the difficulty of chasing criminals is increased due to factors such as vision, surrounding environment and road conditions. In order to solve this problem, we have designed a real-time vehicle tracking system based on ROS. The system uses Pixhawk as the flight control platform in the hardware part. Its internal integrated attitude control module and altitude control module are mainly responsible for controlling the attitude of the aircraft to achieve the effect of stable flight of the aircraft. The GPS module is responsible for acquiring coordinate position data, so that the aircraft can achieve the fixed point effect. This system solves the problem that a processor has insufficient resources when processing relatively large data. Compared with using vehicles to chase criminal vehicles, this system can solve the problem of increasing the difficulty of chasing criminals due to factors such as visual field, surrounding environment and road conditions. This system greatly improves the pursuit efficiency.
