Great shot Eric, just one thing, AOL??? I mean, AOL???? The mechs are awesome, but A.O.L? You're not selling out I hope. Of course, I suppose a mech that automatically installed AOL on any computer it got near would be the most fearsome mech in the (...)

Sorry for the late reply ... consumer still cameras (even cheap ones) have auto-focus capability, so the technology has to be within reach of the RCX. I did a search on Google and found the following definitions: Active auto-focus is where the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) 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)
