Yes we are looking into using the DSP. We are currently also busy working on an ardrone2 vision platform, where for example it is possible to make a module for landing on a mark.

We alrready had vide streaming and some basic vision algorithms working, but not in a very nice way. So we are refactoring it, and make it more easy to use.

So is it possible to use it now to do streaming? If so ... how?

Also, it doesn't even build right now, e.g.:

And the install appears to not have been coded (from ardrone2.py):

# Install the vision framework                                                  

def ardrone2_install_vision():

  print 'TODO'

 

It's still work in progress, and currently doesn't work out of the box but here is the github repository. https://github.com/tudelft/ardrone2_vision

Cool. I'll give it a try when I next get a chance.

I think I read somewhere that the ardrone2 has a DSP - have you looked
into using that yet?

Because I've been flying mine from my fields, I've had to use a
platform to launch it from (the grass is too long to do it from the
ground). As it happens, the platform I'm using is a bright yellow
stool. I was wondering if it would be possible to use the camera to
land on it :-) (Just idle speculation really).

On a related note, is it possible to record the video during a
paparazzi flight? And/or view it live?
