Vision Decisions
 

To me, the aspect of vision in the game doesn't seem as detrimental as in years past. What is your team doing in terms of vision?

and if vision does in fact play a key role in the game this year, do you know of any comprehensive vision how-to guides that I could look at? Our team is a vision rookie!

Thank you

Don't know much I could tell you in terms of how to use vision right now, but remember: some people will be scoring totes 4-6 high, and when that happens you are making a wall that you can't see through and your bot may have to go behind.

Re: Vision Decisions
 

True, I didn't think of having to go behind stacks of totes.

As for autonomous, how key do you think vision will be in the competition?

Re: Vision Decisions
 

I believe that in auton it will only be useful for tracking the creates when attempting to stack them. Besides that I can't think of it being useful for much except in tele-op when your robot goes behind a stack of crates. Then the camera could be useful. Best of luck with it though. The example for labview is already broken.

Re: Vision Decisions
 

The issue with the LV examples is that the initial path location doesn't point to the Sample Images folder, but points to a subfolder. Please delete the last two path segments before running, or change the folder to point to other images first.

It should also work fine with a camera, which was how most of the testing was done. Please post if you have questions or find other issues.

Detecting the vision targets is very easy, doing something with that information rather hard. I usually recommend that it's the very last thing to worry about, since actually doing anything with requires all the code to be able to maneuver and stack properly in the first place.

I tried running this just for fun using my spare MS HD-3000. The error message about missing file(s) still continues to pop up. So, when you say,
, exactly where is this edit/deletion supposed to take place?
Sorry, my basic approach to doing this modification didn't yield any results.

Re: Vision Decisions
 

OK, I answered my own question.

Open the example project. Launch any one of the three example vi's. On the Files tab, browse to the folder that actually has the sample images.

Now you can RUN it with either a sample image, or a web cam.

Re: Vision Decisions
 

You got it. There were initially way more photos when the example was written. At the last minute, the photos were simplified and the path didn't get updated. So either select the path text and delete the last two directory names, or use the button to browse to the example photos location.

Re: Vision Decisions
 

Once you get to that folder what do you do. Delete it or repair the pathway?

Re: Vision Decisions
 

Once you browse to the folder, in my case it was,
then just click Select Folder. That's it.

Re: Vision Decisions
 

I think I get it now. I'll try it later today. Thanks for the help!
