Re: Yet Another Vision Processing Thread

On the Pandaboard, I had trouble using the Kinect and openni drivers. A friend told me that in general OpenCV and Openni are optimized for Intel/AMD and don't work well with ARM. I did have better luck with the Freenect drivers with my Pandaboard/ROS/Kinect experiment. I did get depth camera data from this arrangement. I didn't think it was worth the effort to convert to PCL(point cloud library) for range to the wall in autonomous mode.

I think Odroid is AM based? So I don't know. Besides, I think the Axis camera will do just fine, and I don't see any compelling reason to use the Kinect for this years game. Just got a hold of a Radxa ock (ARM) board. It looks pretty powerful but there is no time to get on this year's bot.
