Thanks again for the suggestions. I have tried changing some of the settings and found a somewhat better match for our lighting (lowered compression to 10 and raised brightness to 25). It seemed like lowering compression does affect the video response time making it lag more, so I am not sure I want to go to the setting of 5 which labView uses.

There is still a problem, however, in the near target region where the target is not consistently recognized. I believe the ellipse routine is finding the target circle but the overall score value is too low to be recognized as a target. I plan to do some more testing by printing out the radii and score values to see what is happening but I believe the circle may be slightly distorted such that it significantly lowers the raw score enough to keep it from being detected as a target.

We also have issues of a low ceiling causing the lights to be in view at long distances. I noticed that was discussed in another thread and the suggestion was to use automatic white balance. I will try that as I have currently been using flixed fluorescent 1.

We did try to get the stored images from the classmate but could never find them so please give us more info on where they are located.
