Re: Vision Processing - Questions

I recommend never sending the full images to the 'RIO at all. Use the pi (open CV is a good way to go) to process the images down to the key pieces of info that you need and send those to the roboRIO. If you want a visual for the driver, you can get CV to generate "schematics" of the full images and send these reduced images to the driver station using much less bandwidth (and/or higher frame rate) than if you send full images. The Canny edge detector is a great way to reduce an image to its key elements.
