#Event – #GlobalAICommunity Virtual Tour, April 8th. Let’s code a drone to follow faces! Using AI, Python, containers and more.

Hi !

On the 8th of April 2020 the Global AI Community is hosting a 30 hour live event across timezones in different languages. Mark the date in your calendar, subscribe to our YouTube channel and tune in.

We updated the agenda with an amazing set of great speakers, and super cool sessions. Take a look at the agenda and subscribe to the event here:

And I realize that I forget to share details about my session, so here it is:

Let’s code a drone to follow faces! Using AI, Python, containers and more

You can control a drone using 20 lines of code. That’s the easy part. However, adding extra features like face or object detection and program the drone to follow and object or a face requires … another 20 lines of code!
During this workshop we will review how to connect to a drone, how to send and receive commands from the drone, how to read the camera video feed and how to apply AI on top of the camera feed to recognize objects or faces. We will use a simple house drone ($100) and Python. And, when we review some enterprise scenarios, we will use Azure Custom Vision in containers for some specific object recognition stories.
Let’s build this!
