Hi Greg,

How well does the RGB thresholding work for these targets? I am worried different lighting/exposure levels may throw it off. Do you think using an IR light source and the appropriate filter over the CCD could yield better results? It would make the thresholding single channel and may be less susceptible to varying backgrounds and lighting conditions. Or, do you think this would be overkill?

Thanks in advance.
