UAV Monitoring System

Overview

This project is a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) monitoring system built with Flask (backend) and Vue.js (frontend). It allows users to manage drones, tasks, and captured images associated with those tasks.

Setup Instructions

Backend Setup

1. Create a virtual environment:

   python3.11 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
   

2. Upgrade pip:

   pip install --upgrade pip
   

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Initialize the migrations:

   flask db init
   

5. Generate migration:

   flask db migrate
   

6. Apply migration to create database tables:

   flask db upgrade
   

7. Start the Flask application:

   python3 -m backend.app
   

Frontend Setup

1. Install Node.js dependencies:

   cd client
   npm install
   

2. Compile and hot-reload for development:

   nvm use 14
   npm run dev
   

3. Compile and minify for production:

   npm run build
   

Additional Notes

• Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system for the frontend setup.
• The backend runs on Flask, and the frontend is developed using Vue.js.
• The project uses Flask-Migrate for database migrations and SQLAlchemy as the ORM.

This README provides clear setup instructions for both the backend and frontend, along with some additional notes about the project.
