Description:
PX4Flow is an optical flow smart camera. It has a native resolution of 752×480 pixels and calculates optical flow on a 4x binned and cropped area at 250 Hz (bright, outdoors), giving it a very high light sensitivy. Unlike many mouse sensors.
PX4 Flight Controller Smart Camera is also works indoors and in low outdoor light conditions without the need for an illumination LED at 120 Hz (dark, indoors). Optical Flow Sensor v1.3.1 is can be freely reprogrammed to do any other basic, efficient low level computer vision task.168 MHz Cortex M4F CPU (128 + 64 KB RAM) 752×480 MT9V034 image sensor.
L3GD20 3D Gyro 16 mm M12 lens (IR block filter) Source code will be available shortly, comes with planar flow for position hold programmed. PX4Flow is not currently supported by APM:Plane, APM:Copter, and APM:Rover firmware.
