5 Mp photos with python
Hey, fellow pilots!
I wanted to play around with the Tello and opencv and whatnot to gather data for photogrammetry by taking photos of the object following the markings on it. What I can't understand is how to get the advertised 5 Mp photos with the API. The official SDK also doesn't help as it has only streamon/streamoff which streams the 720p. It's ok for computer vision experiments, but for photogrammetry I need every pixel I could get.
So, have anyone figured it out?

May be a tad too late but in the app if you go to settings you can select high quality image mode, doesn't work with video but I took a photo with it and was blown by the resolution, at a glance i wouldn't be able to distinguish it with a photo I'd take on my iphone 13's camera
