Re: Modifying image sent to Dashboard

Due to the reason that WPI Lib is HALF-BAKED this year, it will be nearly impossible for you to do any effective image processing in Java. This is because WPI Lib does not expose any native NI Vision functions (imaq*) to you (which are accessible in C++, but still undocumented.) Even if you do get image processing code you wrote yourself in Java working, it will take you a while to optimize it, and once you do, it still won't be nearly as fast as native optimized code from NI's Vision library, and will probably cause too much lag to be usable.

If you are not going to program in LabVIEW, I would recommend going C++ this year if you need to do image processing.
