Re: GRIP on NVIDIA Jetson TK1

For what it's worth, start with basic OpenCV tutorials on the Jetson before strapping it to a robot. Once you have something working to detect your targets, learn how to transfer that data between the Jetson and the RoboRIO. Then move on to putting it on the robot.

Also, before you start any of this, ask yourself some basic questions:
  • What is the end goal for our team to do vision processing?
  • Can we simplify our vision processing? (Single USB cam straight to RoboRIO?)
  • What target are we trying to acquire?
  • What information are we trying to get from the target?
  • Are there easier ways to get that information?
  • Once we have the target, how do we get that information into a form that we can use on the robot?

There are a lot of other questions to consider too but that's a start.

But hey, vision processing is all black and white to me so what do I know?
