The goal of the project wwas to implement vision based control on a low cost quadrotor, namely Parrot 2.0, to tackle indoor localization problems and test them with the prepared platform.
I am running Windows 10 on my computer, and this repository even included a fix for AR_Drone_Target because of this. This combination with the rest of the instaltion works. To be able to run the many parts of the program you need to install the following:
- Simple attitude and altitude control:
- Install Matlab R2014b (preferably with toolboxes)
- Install AR Drone Target -> read the README file on AR Drone Target
- Video based control:
- Install video library blocks -> read the README file on AR Drone Target (optional, only if you want to test these blocks, since the performance is worse than Gstremer)
- Install gstreamer on the quadcopter -> read the README file on ARDrone2_Gstreamer
- Install Gstreamer > 1.0 on your computer (optional - however, it's good for testing purposes)
- Install openCV 3.0 on your computer
- Install mexopencv for Matlab
- Install WinSCP
