Re: Vision Target help

This is my second year doing vision programming and last year we won an award at the queen city regional for our use of it and how we incorporated the Microsoft kinect with it. To track an image, first you must acquire it, then process it to eliminate noise. I use the OpenCV libraries developed by intel. It is perfect for these types of projects. My method also includes the distance in x, y, and z coordinates and rotation in pitch roll and yaw. If you are not getting a solid square back, try adding more light into the system, either ir or green i find works best, not red or blue due to the nature of the field. Best of luck from team 1706!
