Parrot Mambo - optical flow (Simulink)

Product: [Parrot Mambo]

MATLAB Version: R2019a

Hello,

I am working with the ‘Support Package for Parrot Minidrones’ (version 19.1.0) in Simulink. By using the original firmware (factory data with FreeFlightMini application) the optical flow algorithm works very good and the drone (Parrot Mambo) is stable independent of the ground. However, after installing the firmware for using the drone in Simulink, the optical flow algorithm doesn’t work independent of the ground and the drone becomes unstable. The optical flow returns three values (velocity in x- / y-direction and status) in Simulink. Do you know how these three values are computed? Is the optical flow algorithm public?

Beware to anyone considering the Parrot Mambo FPV: it is discontinued, see here.
