Image Processing Libraries
« on: July 06, 2009, 08:59:37 AM »
Hi,
I am doing a project where the robot has to see an object and go to the object's position. And so what I'm looking for is a well documented, easy to use library which would do basic image processing for color and size, this be able to tell me how far away the object is.

Is there a library in C++ that is easy to use, while giveing me documentation, and has this type of functionality.

Also is there a better way to do this, since a camera can only estimate the distance to some accuracy, and I want to be as accurate as possible, but this has to be a fairly cost robot- around $200 with microcontroller (ill prolly use the axon)

Why not use a scanner or rangefinder like IR or ultrasonic?  This will probably be easier to find distance than image processing.

also adding to the above post... IR/Sonar will be much cheaper than image processing
