Without exposure control the tape blooms out to a near-white value, making it very difficult to isolate that separate from the field lights.
We use a Logitech C920 on a RPi2, and had to dig up an old command-line program that supports fiddling with the exposure settings. The consumer-grade utility Logitech ships these days (the Windows one with the GUI) only works for that session, and only on Windows of course.
Once we had exposure under control it was pretty easy to get reliable target isolation using GRIP. The sunglasses tip is interesting, hadn't thought of that.  |
We used a C930e, which supports exposure control directly via NI IMAQdx. We didn't need any external tools.
If arena lights are a problem, then you definitely need a lower exposure setting. The target should clearly be the color of your LED ring.
From your picture, I can't exactly tell what color your LED ring is, or whether your exposure setting is appropriate.
