The filter can track the drone when its flyiong high, this create a contrast between the drone collor and the blue/white from the sky, being easier to track it.

The state was initialized to be able to track the position and velocity (2D setting).

This is important to keep track of the predicted path when the drone speeds up in one direction or changes trajectories.

The state transition matrix used was the standard for this task.
|
| 17 |
+
This initialization was important to keep predicting the next position when the drone was out of frame or when the model could not accurately predict it on the frame.
|
| 18 |
+
The variable Q to process uncertainty and noise was set to a low value to allow jumps when tracking the trajectory, tracing a more smooth path
|
| 19 |
+
The P = 1000 was important to set a high value in the initial uncertanty,so when we start tracking the drone the initial position is the prediction made by the model and not in the traditional (0,0) coordinates.

+
This resulted in a more accurate initial tracking and more smooth path prediction
