Time synchronization of consumer cameras on Micro Aerial Vehicles

Jan Skaloud, Martin Rehak

This article discusses the problem of time registration between navigation and imaging components on Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). Accurate mapping with MAVs is gaining importance in applications such as corridor mapping, road and pipeline inspections or m ...
