Designing an app is not an easy task, you always feel like some actions are left behind while others are getting promoted.

Getting images from the device camera
Setting a floating action button (FAB) for the application
Adding Open CV library for image processing

The full App code is available @ Github

This project is all about flying robots, AKA Quadcopters. There’s a wide range of copters out there and each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Like you see in the image below, I used a 6 rotors copter.
