If you plan to do image processing laptop side, then any image processing code in java should work, It really depends on what you want to do. If you plan on doing something with the retro reflective tape(I think next year will use it), I would look up Hough Transformation in java.

If you want to know how to hook up the camera directly to the router and access the image stream, take a look at our custom dashboard.

once you get the image stream, you can do any sort of image processing you want.
