This plugin adds face recognition and tracking to the ardrone-webflight environment. The drone will attempt to detect a face and will try to keep always facing at the face by autonomously rotating towards.
This plugin is a port of copterface to the ardrone-webflight environment.
This code will trigger autonomous movements of the drone. Use at your own risk and test it in a controlled environment before going outdoors.
