This program is a automatic flight toolkit for ArDrone 2. We implenented 5 flight tasks. They are [0] tracking color block, [1] tracking Aruco marker (http://www.uco.es/investiga/grupos/ava/node/26) [2] Flight along corridor , [3] Recorder video, [4] Auto landing.

The source is based on Tomas KRAJNIK's source code (http://labe.felk.cvut.cz/~tkrajnik/ardrone/), and Aruco (http://www.uco.es/investiga/grupos/ava/node/26). We fix some bugs, and change the SDL to Qt GUI.

• Aruco ( included)
• Qt4 (sudo apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-dev)
• OpenCV (sudo apt-get install libcv2.4)
• ffmpeg (sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec53 libavcodec-dev libswscale2 libswscale-dev libavutil-dev libavutil51)
