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.
