(...) from one end to another taking pictures as you go, and selecting the best parts of each, you'd end up with better-than-perfect focussing. I guess you'd want to be careful to mount the camera very rigidly so it doesn't wobble as you drive the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

But how to I "weave" the SDK and the algorithms IN VC++? I am only wondering if this idea of an autofocusing lego cam is feasible. One day I may learn enough VC++ to be able to acomplish this project :-) I'm glad to know there is hope! Timothy (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Timothy, One source of inspiration for the focusing algorithm is to look at codes that expand the depth of focus by stitching together the in-focus portions of multiple images. This is used in microscopy quite a bit. The software has to be (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) No problem. The VC camera is a repacked Logitech. You can get a free quickcam SDK from the Logitech homepage. With that, you can program the camera under Windows. If you want to use Linux, things get a bit more complicated. You could use (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)
