object tracking via video

Jul 11, 2003 3 Replies

I have two servomotors that i interfaced with a PIC to move them. anyways i wanted to attach a webcam to the servos and have it move following an orange golfball on a solid green background. I wasn't able to find any good tutorials on the net for this. So i'm asking for help on this newsgroup.


I think this might be what you are looking for...

I doubt that any complex object recognition and tracking algorithm could be implemented in a small PIC microcontroller. An interesting library I gave a look at months ago is the Intel OpenCV Computer Vision library, though it will need a much powerful architecture than a PIC to run.

You should try looking at the CMU cam. The CMU cam is a small video camera with attached processor and most processing is done on camera. Color tracking is easily implemented via this simple camera. Acroname sells the camera for $109.00
