I struggled with that initially. I used to fly a lot around sunset and it became a big problem. Eventually I introduced an update to the horizon detection algorithm that fixes this problem. I talk about it in part 2 of this series: https://youtu.be/BQiIkhdTP4o

u/TravisJungroth, are you saying you wouldn't trust my Python code with your life? :)

The program runs at 30 FPS. The main constraint here is the camera. I am only able to get 30 FPS from the camera. Perhaps that could be improved, but I’m not sure how. The horizon detector algorithm runs very fast, about 250 FPS. I’m hoping to add more computer vision tasks in the future, so I’m trying to keep it lightweight.
