Re: Predictive tracking strategies
Last year we had a robot chasing the big trackballs around with the cmucam. All we did was say: if the robot is tracking and moving left, and it loses it keeps turning left in hopes to find it again and vica versa for the going right. You could probably, like you said, use the rate of turn in predicting how fast you should turn to find it. I would say its a safe bet to say that if your tracking to the left and you loose it that the target is to the left of you..
