I just realized that my announcement for this app was in the development forum. So here we go again:
I recently released TelloMe for iOS devices, currently in version v1.2.0: TelloMe
TelloMe is an app strictly for visual tracking of persons, faces, and arbitrary objects and to make Tello follow.
In "Rotate mode" Tello can strictly follow (that is rotate to center the object in the view, and keep a constant distance and altitude relative to the object).
In "Profile mode" Tello uses roll to keep a stable position relative to the object (so it can actually fly ahead of someone and record him).
In "Orbit mode" Tello flies circles around someone / something at a constant distance (this can even work if walking slowly)
In "Manual mode" (experimental) Tello automatically keeps the object in frame using yaw & throttle and the user can control the direction using pitch & roll (Similar to POI lock in TelloFpv but based on visual guidance instead of some coordinates, so Tello will automatically keep the object / person in frame).
TelloMe iOS is _not_ TelloFpv iOS and will never change into that. It is an app strictly for computer vision applications.
It can only take videos (because photos interfere with image stabilization required for computer vision). It does not have sport mode (because that also interferes with computer vision). It does not have support for controllers (because BT also interferes with computer vision, and a controller is not useful for the intended use case).
BTW: For the exactly same reasons TelloFpv will never get any computer vision features - plus I'd need to kick out most existing users because of new hardware requirements.
I am currently working on TelloMe Android and will announce when ready!
Here are a couple of reviews and examples:
