Working on overhead camera vision subsystem development

The normal vision application development process can be summarized as following diagram shown. The extended lines lead to the specific tasks I need to work on.




Currently I am trying on to develop this vision subsystem by using Matlab/Simulink toolboxes (Image acquisition toolbox, Image processing toolbox, Video and Image processing blockset)and customized code sections. Hope can figure out a way for autonomous the fish-eye distortion correction. Below is a capture of the video image that I am working on.

Mid Project-time Review

About one month, I was putting head into the project and did not find a good time to update this blog, really quite a long period. But what I am thinking is that instead diary form of logging the blog, I rather like to put them in summary form, that’s why I said it need a good time of thinking.

The hardware part of the system is almost done; the only thing left is to calibrate the Bigfoot-bot and calibrate the Plate-bot. Since the electronics hardware I have ordered for Bigfoot-bot and Plate-bot has just arrived this Friday, I will work on this next week.

The tracking part programming is done for Boe-bot, there are works need to be done for modification of the tracking programs according to the result of calibrations for the Bigfoot-bot and Plate-bot.

Ok… let me do as usual, summarize them in a list form.

Encoder feedback testing

The diagram below and a small video clip show the encoder feedback testing. This is my first try to embed a video clip to the blog, in future I am going to upload more video clips to here. Enjoy!
