Program camera to find and follow reflective tape?

[roguegdi]

Any ideas as to how one would program a camera to find and follow reflective tape during the autonomous period, not to make it to the goal, rather use the tape to place the tube on the peg.

The camera is mounted on two servos, x and y axis. How do we get the camera to pick up the tape and let the robot use that information to place the tube?

I found this tutorial (http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-14729) to be quite helpful.

Read the tutorial on image processing (http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-14726) first if you are new to it.

There is an example in the "Example finder" under the FRC category. A video may be coming.;)
