Have you guys had to calibrate your image processing before matches while at competition?

If you are using an axis camera, you can set the brightness and exposure to a very low level in the camera settings. Then you use an green led light ring pointed at the goal (normally attached to your camera around the lens) to get the green effect you see in the example images.

Also, normally on the first day of competition, a regional lets teams calibrate their vision stuff. I know in labview there are tools provided to make this calibration easier.
