They didn't make it clear in the interview if they'd solved the imaging problem or not yet. How do you get usable video (or stills) back from a camera that's rotating constantly - and potentially, erratically.
- jim_h 15y agoPerhaps they could have the camera counter spin.
- jrockway 15y agoCan gyro / accelerometer data be used to give the display client hints on what compensation to make?
- jamesbkel 15y agoHe didn't explain how and to what extent, but in the second video he does say that they managed to "solve" that problem.
- wgx 15y agoAh so he does - although no video from the 'copter.
- 6ren 15y agoIn the second video, they said they'd solved it, though not how, nor was any imagery shown. Counter-rotating the image, synced to the rotational speed of the device, would seem to be a simple solution, provided the camera was centered i.e. it wasn't constantly panning. Even if it was (e.g. mounted on the fastest-moving outer edge of the wing), software could reconstruct a panoramic view. You don't even need to align images from subsequent rotations, if you know what direction it is pointed. You'd get fps related to RPM though.
