Re: CMUcam II and competition lighting environments

OK, so I asked Steve Sargeant (the guy responsible for the lighting at all the regional competition events) exactly what the lighting set up will be at the events. He just responded that they are planning to use quartz halogen light arrays at the events, at least 85 foot candles, with a color temperature of 3200 Kelvin. So the original recommendation to use a pair of 500 watt halogen lights to set up your development environment to test the CMUcam II is still good. It should put you right where you want to be in terms of the typical lighting that will be at the regional competition.
