Re: Camera Bandwidth Constrains

Hi,
we are running at roughly ~100kb/s or 0.8 mbps which is well within the range of the 6mbps bandwith allocation they have given. The FMS guy at TCNJ and Seneca both asked us to drop the framerate and compression to this level which made calculating distance almost impossible to do on the driver station.
Currently we are debating whether or not we should move vision processing to an onboard laptop, but this also has disadvantages. Our other option is to trust that they will fix the network problems for championships so that we can bump the resolution up a notch.
Preferably, we would like to do our vision processing on the driver station, but I doubt the issues with the network will be fixed, which is why we are asking other teams how they are dealing with such issues for ideas on how to solve this dilemma.
