The Secret Book of FRC LabVIEW

[loki1725]

First off, thank you for the book. This is our first year using LabView and it has helped us greatly. Our two primary software mentors have never used LabView before, and this book was their primary source for teaching it to the kids. I have used LabView a little bit in the past, but mostly for instrumentation control and display, never for anything complicated.


I'm trying to run through your vision example before I try and teach it to my kids. I have successfully made the distance calculations work based on the target heights, but the angle calculations are not working. I believe my problem is the blob sizes and locations are incorrect due to looking at them from an angle. This is making my calculation of the separation in x in pixels wrong, which throws everything else off. I have spent three days trying to hunt down the problem, but I'm out of ideas.

Has anyone actually earned their Image Processing Zen Master merit badge? If so, I could use some tips.
