You're Favorite Camera
« on: September 13, 2008, 06:07:34 PM »
Hey guys,
I'm doing some research for my team on cameras for our robot. I've already done some indepth looks at the CMUcam and the blackfin cam. I was wondering if you guys could suggest any other cameras that you know of. The reason i ask is because i respect your guy's opinion over google.

Just a few requirements, needs to have a fairly low resolution and and able to handle being in the sunlight.

thanks for the recs.

nothing?

no one has a single rec?

Well then I guess i'll give you what i've found so far and see what you think of each one.

CMUcamIII- all the great image processing of CMUcam2 *ie. histogram, differencing, etc.* mixed with the ability to load your own algorithm on the processor. Tons of previous usage by other teams, wide amounts of support. inter changeable lens. ARM7 processor

Blackfin SR-1 - CMUcam on crack, just like give it a 500mhz processor and the ability to go stereo scopic and you have the blackfin. Also has properties of being a control board instead of just being a camera.

NXTcam- great for using with lego mindstorms NXT, might have to do some hacking to get to operate with anything, on board processor, line tracking, 8 color object tracking.

POB - CMUcamIII with the ability to recognize patterns out of the box.

I posted a thread about this too

I dont even really know what to look for in technical specs, but could you include the AVRcam in your "consumer report" ?

Admin, do you know if the AVRcam has the same blue light shut down as you experienced with the CMUcam?

Nope I've never tried. I highly doubt it though, I'm fairly sure its just the CMUcam1 firmware.

If it was the hardware (they all use the same camera part), other people surely would have noticed . . .
