Below the bump. If you use this, you might want to update it with the power law calibration used in their paper.
Howard and Eric explain how they set up the laser range finder, calibrated and tested it. Here is their final report.
The image processing algorithm has been written and tested. It does a reasonably good job at finding the brightest pixel from center, but reflections off the metal tool chest still gives it problems. We’ll try to calibrate the vision system to get some distance measurements off it. Look for the finished code sometime soon.
Realizing that no one seemed to post on the front page of the blog in 10 months, I figured that I should provide a brief upgrade on the robot.
Roborealm is currently used as the backbone of this project. In addition to providing a substantial list of image processing capabilities, it also has the ability [...]
The new image at the top of the page was taken by the Creative pan and tilt camera stitched together. Nice work, Mike, for getting that going. Now if we can just figure out how to get the images and control the pan/tilt with our own code.
