Basic Camera Program?

[I am error]

Does anyone have a basic camera script example for the camera. I am pulling my hair out trying to find one. If anyone can help that would be great.

Below is my attempt to port the simple C++ example in the WPILib guide. The arguments to EllipseDescriptor need to be changes and I didn't include any of the exception handling code. This code may not work at all because I haven't tested it with a robot but the ellipse matches have an X/Y position to the ellipses it detects.

MonoImage image = AxisCamera.getInstance().getImage().getLuminancePlane();
EllipseMatch[] matches = image.detectEllipses(new EllipseDescriptor(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0));
            
// do something with the matches

If you are using NetBeans as an IDE, source code is provided. Start a new project, click samples, click Java FRC, and then click on the camer example. If those instructions are slightly out of order I apologize, I do not have the FRC libraries on this computer. Hope this helps

After reading James suggestion the sample they include looks like a great starting point. I hadn't received any updates to the NetBeans plugins until today this this sample is a useful new addition.

They really did not do a good job documenting where to find their sample code. I hope future release will provide better instructions on where to find it because me and a few others spent well over 4 hours scouring through files to find the things. Someone from my team should be posting some code that incorporates a drive system as well as camera target recognition and an updating dashboard interface.
