Re: Vision System Legality

The cRIO processor operates at 400MHz, and it is a simple architecture with no vector abilities. It will not set speed records for image processing. But, used wisely, it and the ip camera can be be pretty effective.

When comparing to a PC solution, be sure to measure the camera latency as well as the processing time. There are many cheaper USB and ip cameras on the market but a camera stream that is 250 or 500msec in the past is not very useful on a robot.
