Hi,
I am trying to track infrared spots with CMU cam 2. These spots are generated using a reflector (like those used on road sign).
I have some problems to detect IR light because lens filters out most of the IR light. A small part of them can be detected but not enough to be recognized as an object.
So i would like to know if someone have already done something like that or could have an idea of which technique should i use to do it
thks

PS: Except CMU cam2GUI, are there other compiled programs

You could buy a lens without an IR filter.

The CMUcam2 with the OV7620 imager uses an S-mount (M12x0.5 thread) lens with a 1/3" imager, and there are many lenses with various FOVs, materials, and IR filters available.
