Description
In this project I explored the creation of a computer vision system. I successfully implemented basic region-based tracking using both a small Raspberry Pi-powered robot and my computer, which wirelessly communicate. The robot sends its camera data stream to the computer, and the computer performs the tracking and sends movement instructions back to the robot. The primary goal of creating this type of computer vision system was successfully met, and future goals include adding GPS and digital-compass sensors to allow positional and orientation tracking of the robot, so the data may be plotted. Additionally, another goal is to implement (via post-processing) scene reconstruction based on the data gathered.
