Re: Where is the multi object tracking code for the RC?

The hardware doesn't support tracking of multiple objects. The code that Dave mentioned, written by FIRST's Neil Rosenberg, infers the location of a "spider leg" by looking at the size of the image. If there are two lights in the scene -- which is not always the case -- the camera returns a blob size that is far too big to be from one light. If the blob size is small, you know that there is only one light in the scene and there is a spider leg directly underneath.
