Re: Yet Another Vision Processing Thread

I am experimenting with the Pandaboard and ROS - Robot Operating System from Willow Garage. So far I've got Ubuntu 13.04 and ROS Hydro on the board, and loaded the openni stacks. Seems to be working but not completely with the Kinect. I've run the ROS code on a Raspberry and Beglebone previously. The Kinect code did work on the Pi, but I can't recall if it worked on the Beaglebone.

The advantage of ROS is you can integrate navigation sensors with vision, and openni support is built in. THe disadvantage is learning curve and integration into the driver station - not clear it can be done with our Java code. NI has ROS bindings so it may work that way.
