Re: What Did you use for Vision Tracking?

We use a Raspberry Pi and RPI Camera, with the exposure turned way way down and a truly ridiculous amount of green LED's. Then we do some image processing stuff with OpenCV (blurring, HSV filtering, etc.) Then draw contours, and filter them out set on criteria. Lastly it communicates that over to the RoboRIO through network Tables. It's all written in Python (the bestest language)

We spent a lot of time trying to get OpenCV in Java to work, and putting it on the RoboRIO. In the end we went with the Raspberry Pi, and didn't feel like GRIP was reliable enough that we would want to use it on our robot during a competition.
