01 / The problem

What had to change

A small edge device needs to separate aircraft from a changing sky background with limited compute.

02 / The constraints

What the system had to respect

  • The system runs on Raspberry Pi hardware.
  • Outdoor light and cloud conditions change continuously.
  • The experiment needs a simple path from camera input to detection output.

03 / The build

What I made

  • A Raspberry Pi camera input and detection workflow.
  • Python code for testing aircraft identification against the sky.
  • A public repository for the experiment.

04 / The result

The useful change

The build creates a compact test bed for edge-based aircraft detection work.
