The Parrot Mambo Minidrone has a downward-facing camera. This camera captures the images below the drone as it hovers in the air. Thanks to the drone's MATLAB and Simulink support, we can easily program the drone such that during its flights, it logs the image data that can be loaded into MATLAB workspace afterwards. The image data we collect from the drone that are ready for image processing are in RGB format.
Below, we show two demos of the chessboard image collection process, one with the chessboard alone and the other with a pawn (whose coordinates are h4) on the chessboard.
