POW

POW means Paparazzi On the Web. This software package provides a web interface for Paparazzi users. That allows user to watch and pilot a drone on a web browser via Internet.

The system is based on Java technology. It is divided in 3 parts : one running on the ground station, and the others on a server machine.

Server Side

A web server does the link between Paparrazi drones and web users. Data coming from drones are just reformatted by the server and sent to the different web users. The interface that web users have on their browser is a simple html and Javascript page hosted by the server. There is also a mysql database running on the server. This database is used mainly for logging purposes.

On Paparazzi side

Paparrazi drones are connected to the server via a software bus named ivy and a java application.
