Go to Post I am a mechanical engineer. I have known since I was about 12 that I wanted to make complicated mechanisms. - Paul Copioli [more]

Re: Raspberry Pi + Camera Module = New Vision System?

One or two small things to keep in mind is that the Pi camera has a fairly wide field of view (as I understand it)... which can be good for latching on to a target, but maybe not so good for precise targeting. On the other hand... the increased resolution might make up for that.

The other minor thing to note is that it apparently has an IR filter. Which is only a big deal if you are using IR beacons as part of the nav/targeting package.

Other than those minor-to-the-point-of-almost-insignificant things, go for it. The Pi community might one day grow to match the Arduino community. That aspect alone makes the Pi stand out as a development platform.

Jason,
What resolution and processed frame rate are you able to get with that configuration?
Previous limitations on the combo you are using was keeping frame rate really low. Where do you have it now?

I have been working with the PCDuino and a Microsoft USB webcam and am able to get 320X240 images processed into tracking coordinated and to the cRio at 10+ FPS in a worst case lighting environment.
(I should be able to get close to 20+ FPS in the proper lighting environment and calibration.)
