Vision Assistance

[weaversam8]

Hello,

I am a programmer for 4534, The Wired Wizards.

We are a 3rd year team, and are looking into getting into vision for real this year. We have an axis cam and a Microsoft 3000. We plan on running OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi as a coprocessor to the RoboRio. I have been toying with OpenCV, using Python, but I haven't been able to figure out a good process to locate the vision target. We have a light ring, but I haven't been able to use that yet.

Any advice from teams who have done vision tracking in the past?
