I was looking at opencv, but determined it wasn't worth the effort to get it running. Just wondering, what's the purpose of three cameras? And with all that processing, is your framerate any good? |
We are tracking quite a few things this year... We are continuously tracking the backboards to calculating the necessary parameters to make our shots (while moving). The Axis camera for the driver which looks for balls in front of the robot. The Kinect to track field objects such as the curb and bridges to aid in knowing the position of the robot on a 2d grid system.
The frame rate of the PS3 eye cam is running at a consistent 120fps. We are using it to do live tracking of the backboards due to its high frame rate and its cheap price. We have a core i3 computer on our robot running linux(ubuntu) for the ease of compiling OpenCv and being able to create sockets between the computer and the cRio. (sockets are opened in python)
Any other questions? I am quite curious with what you have come up with in terms of tracking if you are not using a library like OpenCv.
