OpenCV with Axis Camera

[~Cory~]

There is atleast 3 different topics started about that question. Do a search and youll find a ton of information.

How is it possible to get the camera image to OpenCV running on a computer on the same network?

Obtain the MJPEG stream directly from the camera.

I was thinking of a separate socket connection to the robot and have cRIO transmit the AxisCamera data over the network to a server on the computer, and that computer does whatever to it.

sockets. There are rules on the port numbers, however.


706 has a semi working system and are going to be posting a full length tutorial on how to do the obtainment of an MJPEG, filter bad colors, find a rectangle, take those points and fit them to a mathematical model (distance and angle, ray style), rectify that model, apply it in an algorithm, create a socket server and client, and send it back.
