Live stream video from drone (via Raspberry Pi) | wboayue.com

Introduction Situational awareness is essential in the operation of autonomous drones, with live video streaming being a key component in achieving situational awareness. In this guide, part of a series focused on building a 4G-connected autonomous drone, I detail a practical solution for setting up a live video stream from a drone to a Ground Control Station (GCS). This guide is particularly aimed at those who are looking to build custom drones using a Raspberry Pi as a companion computer.

Good post. How to fight with delay video stream. About 4 sec

I'm still experimenting with this, and don't have hard numbers on this. However, on my setup, CPU power for encoding/decoding the video doesn't seem to be a bottleneck. Most of the latency appears to be due to transmission. So, I stream lower resolution video and reduce the frame rate for streamed video. If I need higher resolution video, I store it to disk for viewing after the flight.
