Real-time
Target Tracking |
|
This project focuses on
using real-time vision algorithms such as rank
transform and Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD)
for real-time user selected target tracking.
Vision algorithms are implemented on the embedded
vision sensor to provide real-time feedback to the
control system. An ongoing project is to use
feature detection and feature tracking algorithms
implemented on the embedded vision sensor to
control our four-rotor helicopter to track moving
objects on the ground.
