"I would echo Kris Nackaerts advice to look into Hugin. It has a capability that sounds like what you looking for. At it's core is a set of very powerful open source image processing tools called Panotools. Unfortunatly it is command line driven and…"
"Hey Bill,
Great stuff! I use a similar arrangement in my autopilot, but found that if I attribute the velocity errors to accelerometer bias and correct for it I get a low level oscillation whereby the velocity errors cause a change in…"
"Thanks Bill. I'm familiar with using the mag vector for attitude estimation other than just yaw, I've just been leary to rely on it because of the fear of local magnetic varience as the airframe moves around (clumps of iron, ground deposits ect..).…"
"Hey Bill,
Nice board! I can spot another design junkie a mile away.

"Nice work James. I'm off work this week and plan on following in your footsteps with my PicPilot. I want to evaluate the PixHawk GCS as well as a couple others including Happies. One of my main objectives is to find/modify or make one that runs well…"
"Hey edouard,
Happy did mention in one of his posts that he got elements of his GCS implementation from Open Pilot and displays from C# Avionic Instrument Controls by Guillaume CHOUTEAU. I'm sure he'll be adding the appropriate GPL licensing boiler…"
"Hey Morli,
If I'm posting a new blog there is an option for upload file. When responding to an existing blog that option is not there. What I ended up doing is starting a new blog to upload the file, saved that blog as a draft (although someone…"
