I will try to do some additional testing with it and see if the noise is an issue or not. Currently it is just another option for us, but it is somewhat on hold until we compete next weekend. Depending on the outcome of that tournament, I may spend a bit more time on it.
You have to play with the settings. We always had a lot of noise until we optimized and, at least in the Java code from years ago, we worked out some crazy tricks that made the noise mostly irrelevant. Those tricks were possible because we did not use OpenCV.
