Sensors that can detect reflective tape from a distance?
Hey Guys,
I was wondering what kind of sensors that could be used to detect the reflective tape of the backboard from 20+ feet away? We have the Axis camera, but for some reason we get framerate and quality that is really low. (to the point where sticking a toaster to the end of it seems like a feasible idea). |

An old supermarket bar code scanner and some fancy programming?

Some other kind of camera? There really aren't that many options for directional light sensing.

Re: Sensors that can detect reflective tape from a distance?
I'll apologize in advance for not being up-to-date with the latest software revisions, but in the past my students had good success using the cRio and Axis camera to track a vision target.
The target was a 3' diameter black and white "bullseye" and the machine could follow a person holding the target as they walked around the room. Maybe a software revision will help? Sorry I can't be more specific to this year's game, or your specific issue, but I do think the camera is probably worth investing some time in. Jason |
