I am working on a program that posterizes an image. Can you do this with
theThreshold, MorphOpen, MorphClose, MorphProperOpen, MorphProperClose,
MorphThin and Invert commands in RoboLab?

I will be developing a program that distills a real time image into a aesthetic
number using frequency & spatial filtering, quantitative, morphology and pattern
matching through the VisionCenter. My reference work will be to use known
masterpieces to see if there is something in common.
I really need to see VisionCenter examples. May you suggest a site?
Thanks in advance for your kind attention to my problem. Tom Lohre

Hmm... mine only runs at 5 fps... okay for macam's time lapse feature but no
good for anything else. Does anyone else's run faster?

Summoning the great minds of Lugnet, I put forth a question:
How hard is it to cause Lego's Vision Command software to view/use a different
USB camera?
I have multiple USB cameras, as well as a firewire camera that I would rather
use. (Especially since one of them is wireless)
Thanks for your time,
Timothy

Even more cool, I just realized that the Macam.component for QuickTime allows
the VC cam to be recognized by Yahoo chat... wheeeeeeeee :)

VERY COOL... it works right out of the box on OS-X 10.2.6... now, what to do
with a working LEGO VC cam ... hmmmmm

I think this has been asked before, but I don't see any positive replies...
Has anyone hacked a Macintosh OS-X driver to support the VC LEGO-cam ?
I believe someone has mentioned that the cam is really a Connectix QuickCam Web.
I have found a linux driver for that cam, but don't see a OS-X or BSD version.
Anyone know of one ?
thanks, Ray

Hi guys!
Some weeks ago I was trying to build a remote controlled (web page) camera
using my RCX and .NET. I tried many libraries and no one worked ok. Then I
decided to built my own .NET library, and It worked perfect.
Now I'm sharing this with you.Take a look and let me know any comments:
http://www.geeksco.com/rcxnet/index.htm
The programming interface is very similar to spirit's, but It does not
expose all its functionality. (Just drop me an email if you need some
additional method :-) )
enjoy!
David

I am having the same problem on Win2K, but even worst is that I am living in
asia, the LEGO branch here, told me that they does not help to order

Any place I can download it?

Yep, that's right--I found a page sowewhere where someone used the
remaining USB power offered by the computer to power 6 IR LEDs mounted
on the front of the cam--night vision!

Rob limbaugh give me the info to get the update.
LEGO has a new version of VC for "XP". It will also install on Win2K. Call
Shop@Home and wait (don't press any buttons) and tell the person on the phone
you need the new version of VC for XP.

Hi,
When my son makes movies in Movie Maker they are way to fast because he does
not take enought
pictures (stop motion). Anybody know a program which will double the number
of frames and this
way make the movie longer.

It's getting frutrating :( Nothing works. I tried re-installing, to no avail. On
top of that the installation process is long and tedious, for some reason it
takes MINUTES to detect cd rom change when it asks me to insert windows 98 se
CD.
I know the actual camera works fine, as the camera test right after the
installation works fine.
But vision command still doesn't detect it!
When I try the Lego Cam program the camera microphone works but any program
inside it tells me the camera is currently in use!
Please, I need help. Lego's tech support page stinks and doesn't help me in any
way!
My configuration:
Windows 98 SE
P3-733 MHZ
352 mb RAM
SB Live 5.1 sound card
Nvidia geforce2 MX 100/200 video card
20 gig hard disk
ASUS mother board

I'm having the exact same problem :(
I'm using the exact same OS (Win 98 SE)
Any solution?

Couple months ago I have seen VC camera modified to see even in complete
darkness using IR LED diodes mounted around it. Today i tried to find it
again but Lugnet search didn't give me any positive results. Does anybody
know location of the page I am looking for?
Thanks Rob
