Axis Camera Real-Time Vision Processing

[rbmj]

Hi everyone,

I've written a small program to help with vision processing for FRC. Right now it only does the thresholding, but you can use it quickly see the results of thresholding ops in real time. The idea is that if you need to recalibrate your vision processing at competition, then all you have to do is plug your laptop in and you can get new values and see the result of the thresholding ops as you change the ranges. I've tried to make the thresholding as similar as I can to the cRIO's.

Program:
axisviewer

Dependencies:
libcurl (not sure about the version)
gtkmm 3 (sorry, i'm working on getting a gtkmm >= 2.4 version)
cmake (to build)

Because it requires gtkmm 3 there's no currently stable way to build this on windows. However, gtkmm 3.4 is about to be released, and I just got info from the mailing list that this version should work well on windows. As far as the libcurl dependency, that's just there so that I don't have to deal with the http socket stuff. I plan to remove this dependency in the future.

TODOs:

Make the image processing stuff less crufty
Add more vision operations
Get a working gtkmm2 build
and other misc. stuff.

I'll put a screenshot up tomorrow.

If you want to use this with your own, just go to Config->Set Camera IP and use that. It should also *theoretically* work with other IP MJPEG cameras too, you just need to get the correct delimiter. Maybe I can add something to guess the delimiter in the future...

Any suggestions or patches are welcome!
