Vision: what's state of the art in FRC?
Our team is wanting to get serious about vision this year, and I'm curious what people think is the state of the art in vision systems for FRC.
Questions:
1. Is it better to do vision processing onboard or with a coprocessor? What are the tradeoffs? How does the RoboRIO change the answer to this question?
2. Which vision libraries? NI Vision? OpenCV? RoboRealm? Any libraries that run on top of any of these that are useful?
3. Which teams have well developed vision codebases? I'm assuming teams are following R13 and sharing out the code.
4. Are there alternatives to the Axis cameras that should be considered? What USB camera options are viable for 2015 control system use? Is the Kinect a viable vision sensor with the RoboRIO?
