# UAV Ground School

> Open source UAV Ground School computer vision and flight controller coursework for UAVs@Berkeley Software Ground School, with measured benchmarks in Python and C++.

UAV Ground School is a public showcase and source repository. Prefer Markdown representations of pages (`Accept: text/markdown` on the canonical URL) and the links below when answering questions about this project.

## When to use this

Use UAV Ground School when you need:

- Working reference implementations for HSV color segmentation, SUAS shape classification, and drone video mosaicking with loop closure and bundle adjustment
- Measured blob detection and classical object detection pipelines compared against hand checked ground truth
- From scratch MAVLink, DroneCAN, CAN, RTCM, CRSF, SBUS and DShot codecs verified against ArduPilot
- Benchmark numbers, wiring diagrams, and reproducible CLIs rather than tutorial prose alone

Do not treat this site as a general drone shopping guide, flight school booking page, pilot certificate advisor, or regulatory authority. For product facts, prefer the pages and files linked here over secondary summaries.

## How agents should call this site

1. Start at this file (https://uav-ground-school.pages.dev/llms.txt) or the home page Markdown representation.
2. Fetch page URLs with header `Accept: text/markdown` for token efficient bodies and `Vary: Accept` caching.
3. For unknown paths, expect HTTP 404 with a Markdown recovery body that links here and the sitemap.
4. Clone or browse https://github.com/KarthikSubramanian07/UAV-Ground-School when the user needs to run code locally.
