We are a team of two 14 year high schoolers looking to create a robot with computer vision.I was wondering what some good software is(Keep in mind that our budget is very small).We have a web cam, a arduino, a laptop computer to use. We also have enough hardware to build the robot itself.
if you just want to detect obsticles then you should look into IR sensors which can detect distance and even color in some configurations (for tasks such as line following). for this you would only need the arduino.
OpenCV is a open source computer vision library created by Intel several years back for the C/C++ programming languages. It has a little bit of a learning curve but in general is relatively easy to use. Plus, because it is open source and has been around for so long, there are a ton of resources and documentation surrounding it. Its available for windows and linux, and has wrappers available for a few other languages (including python and java) as well. Here is a link to their wiki:http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/You can download the libraries and sources there as well.

Finally my years of stupid java pay off.
opencv look really cool but when i install it, it wont do anythingi try it in vc++, and pythonpython just says the is no module named cvi have no clue what to do thanks
