Camera API WG

Overview

Camera API WG is focused on platform independent developer APIs for cameras and remote control of camera and gimbal.

APIs under investigation include:

  • Remote Camera and Gimbal Control APIs (Julian Oes)
  • Video Streaming APIs
  • C/C++ developer camera APIs (FPV, Snapshot, Recording, Optic Flow, and Stereo)

Proposed APIs

The following submissions have been made with a request for comments:

Qualcomm Technologies Inc provided links to the already public platform independent Camera APIs used in Snapdragon Flight, for consideration and comment from TSC, Camera WG and the community:

Intel just open-sourced their work on video streaming. The repository and initial documentation can be found at: https://github.com/01org/camera-streaming-daemon http://discuss.dronecode.org/t/review-camera-streaming-daemon/358

This initial version is based only on discovery via Zeroconf and therefore requires an active WiFi connection with the drone, but one of the items for future implementation is support for the current set of MAVLink messages there.

Information is in the discuss forum and feedback is requested and appreciated.
