"Hi Daniel,
Try http://code.google.com/p/aforge/ . c# and microsoft friendly. Good for prototyping and for developing algorithms and allows for a more interactive development process.
Look at PIL for python. Does not do what aforge does (hough…"

"Thanks. It's great to link up across such a distance."
"Try OpenCV ˇhttp://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/
AVRcam
Look for optical flow, blob tracking, that sort of thing. Automatic tracking an object the size of a car at distance is non trivial unless you tell it it's a car first. Or else use optical…"

"Hi,
I am doing the same. Currently I'm working on the data bus and then I will do the graphics. There are a few projects on google code that do something similar as well as Paparazzi.
Have you got as far as parsing the data stream and seeing the…"

Hi,(Scrap this, as after looking at the SLAM page, it looks like they used the Hokuyo scanner . It generates the same sort of image as the images in the videos is you have a spare 350 grames available and $5500 then indoor lidar is for you. That…
"While the absolute error for GPS chips can be quite big, their drift in the short term (minutes) is very small. So for distances relative to the start point, they are pretty good. You need to be outdoors and have very good sat readings.
That said,…"

"Hi,
Have you any info on the vibrations experienced in the previous flight? Is it possible to steer the second stage after first stage burnout. I'd have a look at trying to use a camera based system (maybe in conjunction with the solid state IMU).…"

"Look up blob tracking in OpenCV. It is doable in a small room type environment. Visually (i.e with a camera) tracking an object over 500 meters away is something that the military probably do. Lots of processing power and heavy UAV's. That said, the…"
"Thanks
Those links look great. Here is an academic one that looks good.

They do the processing on the GS."

Having seen that the ardone is using a lookdown camera for stability, I though I would put together a simple bit of code to look at a video stream and find point of interest. They seem to have a grid of 25 points that they lock on to points of…
"Jack, don't forget the Paparazzi is French too. The iphone bit is a gimmik but a great one. It actually is not that bad a controller. Re battery time, I read that the aussi quad copter has a longer battery life (for $60,000 it would want to), but…"
"March 5th from the engaget review."
"Great video. They seem to have made a very smooth product.
Looks like it will only cost 320 GBP in the Summer and it looks like they have are facilitating a developer community around the unit.
The AR opps for this are amazing. Can you imagine an…"

"Impossible.
Look at Walter Reed. It is full of guys with legs and arms blown off by mines and their modern, bigger equivalent, so called IED's . These are very large artillery shells stuffed with HE. If the US military find it that hard to find…"

http://www.pointandtoss.com/Interesting concept. It flies out ancd comes straight back. Pop in a new battery and do the same again.
"Very nice work. I think a project to build an open source ground station similar to the paparazzi one would be nice. Any move on trying to fly the aircraft via a serial uplink. I wonder whether a process that basically updates the target way point…"
