Project Description:
This was an experiment to bring the video tracking and video recognition that
is very popular at ITP into the realm of very small and inexpensive microcontrollers.
It is a continuation of a project
that
made use of a PIC microcontroller and a Quickcam. With the introduction of very
cheap CMOS cameras and very fast SX microcontrollers, this tool could have greater
speed and resolution. At the same time a group at CMU
developed a commercial kit which uses the same components (better engineering).
Technical Notes:
I wrote the software in C for a SX Chip and build the circuitry to connect
to a CMOS camera from Omnivision.
