Final Project - Optical Flow Test with Tape

HMC Core Robotics Lab (4/30/2014) - Morgan Mastrovich and Sherman Lam

We control a quadcopter with the LeapMotion, and then track the quadcopter's motion with a Kinect running the Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow algorithm (from OpenCV code). The prominent window shows the kinect video with green dots signifying points that the algorithm identified as moving, and green tracks (collections of dots at previous postions). This time, we put tape on the quadcopter's styrofoam shell, and it helped the algorithm identify it (and have a higher concentration of green dots!)
