I intend to use openCV in Mission Planner Scripts. I have tried to import it using the import cv2 method, but it did not work. I also tried using the OS library to change the working directory to import cv2, but it gave me the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
So can anyone please tell me if there is a way to have openCV working with Mission Planner?
Mission planner uses IronPython internally and *.pyd files are just not working for IronPython by default. I think it would be great if MP uses the ‘official’ version of python. Refer to this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1228613/how-can-i-import-a-pyd-module-in-ironpython/1231131#1231131
I got the computer vision thing working alright. Not exactly OpenCV, but yes, gets the job done!
Fantastic! After I found out that ironPython does not support opencv I turned to dronekit and I am still working on it. Actually I’m quite intrested in your solution. It would be great if you can share your ideas.
