Camera-to-Driver Station latency

[Jared Russell]

Does anyone have an accurate characterization of the latency we can expect in transmitting an image (say, 320x240 with compression set to 30) from the Axis camera to the Driver Station? More than a second? Less than 1/2 a second? Near instantaneous?

Our team, like many others, is weighing our options when it comes to vision processing and, while laptop-side processing is attractive and latency is low under our controlled conditions, we are concerned about what kind of latency to expect under competition circumstances.

Thanks
