Cool, it looks tiny and efficient :)
Do you know some guidelines on how to select a suitable hardware application? I have almost no idea on how to determine if the processor and it's board organization can suit my processing needs. Most of the stuff I have experience with is low-level FPGA...
Don't know if links are allowed on this forum but I found a nice web-site article. Here is a quote:
By contrast, Freescale's i.MX53 processor – with an ARM Cortex-A8 core – is optimised for multimedia applications. Board support packages running on a low cost evaluation board enable the use of...
The issue with the Pi might have been a frame buffer issue. Someone commented that it is unfixable unless they release a version of openCL or openGL I forget which. Forgive me this is beyond my current expertise.
Also, I was thinking I would like a video output from the board to help...
Alright thank you very much for your input.
I read somewhere that USB was a 'slow' way of getting the image into the board (case in point was referring to a raspberry pi).
Any comment on the image stream interface?
So I spoke to a professor at my school and though he seemed really pressed for time, I quickly tried to explain my project and he suggested I look into a DSP development board with full API for openCV
Oh, the arduino was canned as soon as I googled some stuff after the initial response :)
The best I can hope from the uno now is probably to be a simple controller based on several interrupt signals. Probably will just can this as it can likely be accomplished by any extra resources.
I am not too confident in the raspberry pi solution. From what I have found on the web, it does not seem to do too well implementing intense image processing algorithms in real time.
I'm thinking I need only 2 frame per second processing (640x480 or lower) but I would like to implement fairly...
That's genius. I feel silly having committed so many mental resources already to trying to design a digital circuit.
I mean, this is for a final year engineering project but I do believe our focus is to make the robot drive itself, not design the hardware.
Hi all, I am trying to get a little robot car to do on-board image processing.
So far my plans are as follows:
- microcontroller (ardiuno uno) to sync up the camera, SRAM memory and DSP chip(s)
- DSP chips will perform image processing algorithms and return result(s) to microcontroller
-...
