Flow breakout - mesurement to cm

Hello,

For my project, i want to use the flow breakout to mesure a deplacement.
For using properly the data, i want to convert them into cm.
I tried to understand the Marcus Greiff's Master Thesis but it's too complicated for me.

Can you help me ?

Thanks by advance
Edouard

Hi,

If you want to see an implementation example you can look in the Crazyflie firmware. The Crazyflie is running a kalman filter and the flow update function is there: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-f ... an.c#L1062. The EKF code seems to be doing the oposite (convert velocity in pixel) and includes the platform rotation. Though from it is should be possible to get the formula to pass from pixels to cm and to remove rotations from the equations.
