Hi, I'm working on an unmanned submarine for my high school's robotics
club. Right now we're using a CMU cam that tells us what colors are
being detected, or something like that. We'd like to move beyond this
and are considering using a webcam and grabbing images from that and
processing them. Our software is written in Java, but we plan to work
with JNI so I think C/C++ is possible. What would be our best option
for a camera and where can I get started with image processing?

Re: Image Processing for a Submarine

Will the unmanned submarine have a physical cable connection
to a boat? I would imagine for a self controlled unconnected
submarine sonar might be useful like those sonar fish finders?

Re: Image Processing for a Submarine

One of the best places to get started with image processing using a
webcam and interfacing vision with robots is http://www.roborealm.com/

You can interface to that application using Java to extend the
application as needed while having the basic filters running within the
application at C/C++ speeds.

STeven.

Re: Image Processing for a Submarine

cool thanks. and to the other guy, it's completely autonomous. It's for
the AUVSI competition, we're the only high school in it. I'll be sure
to check it out this winter break.
