    On-board image processing

    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...

    On-board image processing

    Now just the decision of going with this board vs a cheaper one :)

    On-board image processing

    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...

    On-board image processing

    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...

    On-board image processing

    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?

    On-board image processing

    Is the method of getting the image stream data into the board a major concern? I mean, through USB, or other data transfer protocols and channels?

    On-board image processing

    I'm not sure how to proceed from here though. I will probably be googling for a while. Will update when I get more info.

    On-board image processing

    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

    On-board image processing

    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.

    On-board image processing

    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...

    On-board image processing

    Hmm this solution seems to be in the 300-400 dollar range?

    On-board image processing

    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.

    On-board image processing

    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 -...
