One of the most intriguing features of the Parrot AR Drone is its cameras. The machine boasts cameras, atop & the other at the bottom, which are of high importance to its operation. There is not very any other tool, even currently in design stage, that can rival this gadget in this regard.

The similitude of both eyes to the human being is equivalent to the cameras found on the Parrot AR Drone. The clear difference here is that the cameras on this machine function much beyond the sphere of sighting. Comic , of the cameras relays video streams back to its controlling tool the same way the human eye relates signals to the brain for interpretation. Thus, the gambling world is now saddled with a flying machine that not only sees, but attempts to stabilize itself as best as feasible. Now let us take a glance at the cameras & their functions in details.

Much faster at 60 frames per seconds, it transmits video streams to the Apple tool Controller at a resolution of 176 x 144 pixels. Its wide angle lens takes in views from far & wide, sending back streams of video that would otherwise be missed by the ordinary eyes. The quality & range of these videos as seen on the I-phone gives the gamer a "pilot in the cockpit" feeling & contributes in no tiny measure to the Augmented Reality desired by the makers of this machine.

The Bottom Camera

At a speed of 15 frames per second, this camera can shoot videos up to a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The major function of this camera is to choose the current speed of the machine, transmit that knowledge to in-built sensors which can then aid with the stabilization of the machine while in flight. This is a continuous process because in-flight stabilization is important to the operation of this quadricopter.

More importantly, the cameras on the Parrot AR Drone do not work like separate individuals, they synergize to contribute to the final flying experience. While the high speed camera is determining speeds & transmitting to sensors to aid stabilization, the views transmitted by the second camera allows the player control the speed. Options are available for acceleration & speed reduction through the Apple tool controller, while directions can be changed by tilting the controller to the desired angles.
