Vision Proccessing Fine Points

[sasha831]

Hello,

Last year, we managed to get our robot to track the basketball rings successively. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the competition, the lighting was different, causing our vision processing to stop working. We could not re calibrate the camera on the playing field, and so were forced to abandon the idea. If we ran the project via labview, then we could select the color on a camera feed in the vision processing VI. In order to not face the same problem this year, we have considered trying to select the color on the dashboard, and have that sent to the robot. This is though, inefficient and requires us to add another layer of communication to the robot. I would like to know how other teams are coping with this and if anyone has a better way of doing this. The Vision processing Vi used is attached.
