Re: pic: Tracking in Depth with the Microsoft Kinect

haha. funny how the left ball is an excercise ball. anyways. Yeah, we plan on finding velocity of a ball, and autonomously going to where it will go so we can retrieve it in the least amount of time. (this is will be used in autonomous to find and shoot teammate's balls in case they dont shoot.)

Tracking the hotzones and the targets will be pretty easy. There is plenty of documentation on tracking reflective tape and yellow leds.

Next, we are going to track a friendly robot, calculate their velocity, and then lead them in a pass so they will intercept the ball and they dont have to do anything but keep moving at their velocity.

Lastly, we are hoping for autonomous catching, but that is pushed back on our to do list because of the complexity and because a driver can do it fairly easily.
