Guidelines

Main goal of the work is to create algorithms and pilot software implementation for obtaining metric information of an object located in the scene in front of the quadcopter by using its internal sensors (such as accelerometer and gyroscope) and camera.
The resulting application should be platform independent as much as possible to allow easy adaptation for both on-board computation as well as off-board computation in case of smaller and computationally weaker drone platforms.
The software will be tested in real environment, for example using the Parrot AR.Drone.
