We did vision for the first time last year, am looking at moving to Java this year.

One thing that was very helpful last year was an NI provided sample on the PC where you access the camera and manipulate the parameters for the recognition software via sliders in real time, and get a real time view of the scene with the recognized particles highlighted and numeric information overlaid. Made it very easy for the students to see what the various parameters actually do.

Looking at writing SmartDashBoard/OpenCV based detection, so I'd like to have something similar to make it easy for the students to visualize what the various pieces of Java code do. I'm looking at Team 341's 2012 code, and it can optionally display intermediate results, but the adjustable parameters are not there.

Has anyone already seen/done this, or am I going to have to roll my own up? The interactive aspect is what's missing.
