Re: illuminating reflective targets
Thanks, Greg,

It occurred to me after I posted that taking the difference between frames assumes that the robot (the camera, actually, if it's mounted on the end effector) is moving slowly relative to the frame rate, or else everything gets flagged as different. I hadn't thought of a shutter, I just assumed (being an electrical guy) it'd be easier to switch (or even synch) an LED at the video frame rate.
