Axis camera finding reflective tape

[Jerry Li]

I apologize if this thread is in the wrong section, but my team wanted to use the camera to find the reflective tape. I know we can do this somehow (I saw a tutorial before) but I could not find it again. If anyone could point us in the right direction, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

We haven't had a chance to really try it yet but it comes from a trusted source...

If you get the updated plugins for Netbeans (assuming you are using Java) that were released around Jan 20th, they include a nice sample program that shows how to use the camera and process images. It's a great start. Then you can use the NI Vision Assistant to experiment with ways to fine tune the image filters.
In case your new to Netbeans, you can access the samples by starting a new project, then clicking on the Samples.
