There is a new version of the LabVIEW CMUCam Application posted here that has some more options when it comes to selecting colors for tracking. You can also view the color channels individually to better understand what information is contained in each channel.

Re: Cam Color Caliberation
 

Some Qs:
1. will the officials release exposure values before the match this year just like they did last year? Has this been documented? Can you provide a link?
2. Does the Labview GUI have a calibration scheme?

I ask because I believe that last years calibration won't help this years game to distinguish between green light and any other light source. Exposure values will only adjust how much light enters the camera; it won't help you distinguish between red, blue, and green colors.

Your thought?

hmm.. did you read the calibration guide? that is how we got the camera to work.
with the CMUcam2 GUI for LabView, they include a file called "2006 target". this includes the color values that have been prechosen for the camera (by ifi or first i think).
also,. you have gotta play around with the SATURATION and NOISE FILTER values. they are the major problems that we had.
also, make sure that your target has a sufficiently charged battery hooked up to it.
