Camera on cRIO

[UIA]

ok thanks

But this image can be used for image processing in labview right?

Our plan is to use the cammera to determine the robots position using three referenc points. Each refrenc point have to IR-diode`s. We wil determine the distance to each point by counting the pixels between the upper and lower diode and then calculate the distance uising trigonomteri.

excuse my bad english

Is the camera module the software that analyzes the image or the camera itself?

Yes. Many FRC teams do it, and some do it very well.

Here's a link to a document on the National Instruments Developer Zone that you might find useful.

You have several ways to access the camera. The Axis camera and a number of other IP cameras are supported by the IMAQdx drivers, but FRC actually uses TCP to directly request an MJPG stream and to configure the camera. The Axis website contains very good documentation for the VAPIX API. You could also use the FRC camera library as it has no dependencies I can think of on other FRC libraries.
