Accessing video frames before transmission for Bebop 2 drone using ardupilot #6427

Issue details

I'm working on the Bebop 2 drone and I wanted to try Ardupilot. But I see there are no libs for accessing video or camera modules for bebop 2. I see that ardupilot can access sensors like IMU, GPS. So using ardupilot, is it possible to access video frames before it goes to transceiver and then process frame bytes and then transmit it as usual?

Version

We'd love to have video working in the Bebop2. Unfortunately the handling of video is done in the same process as the Parrot autopilot (which can't be running at the same time as ArduPilot) so there isn't an easy way. I guess someone could develop a driver for it, but that is outside the scope of the ArduPilot autopilot firmware.

The answer in any case is that for the Bebop2, I don't think we have access to the camera. We do on the Parrot Disco (plane) but the Bebop2 has a different API and I don't think we've ever been provided with the binaries to access the camera.
