This example shows how opencv can be used on (for example) the Bebop drone.

Important to know is that sw/ext/opencv_bebop must be downloaded, and made. After this is done the folder sw/ext/opencv_bebop/install has a opencv.xml file. The LDFLAGS in this file should be the same as in this conf file.

Example for airframe file

Add to your firmware section: This example contains all possible configuration options, not all of them are mandatory!

 <module name="cv_opencvdemo">
   <define name="OPENCVDEMO_CAMERA" value="front_camera|bottom_camera" />
   <define name="OPENCVDEMO_FPS" value="0" />
 </module>

Module configuration options

Define Options

name: OPENCVDEMO_CAMERA value: front_camera|bottom_camera
Description: Video device to use
name: OPENCVDEMO_FPS value: 0
Description: The (maximum) frequency to run the calculations at. If zero, it will max out at the camera frame rate
