Post Re: Yet Another Vision Processing Thread

I just wanted to weigh in with our team's setup. This is the first year ever we have attempted to do vision processing. I am using the new Java interface (not javacv) for OpenCV to do processing in a SmartDashboard extension which communicates back to the robot using Network Tables. I started out using javacv but found it archaic and difficult. The new Java interface is really easy to work with.

I am noticing that a lot of teams are using a second computer on the robot to do vision. It seems like the power supply system would make it a pain to get working correctly. What's the advantage of that over doing vision on the driver station?

I can't wait until next year where we can have that type of processing power to do vision (even with a Kinect via the USB host port) on the RoboRio.
