Hi,

recently I have read about the the CMUCam2. This is a quite cheap camera for
robotics. This camera module contains also a µP module for image reconition
tasks. Here are a list of the features:
• Track user defined color blobs at up to 50 Frames Per Second*
• Track motion using frame differencing at 26 Frames Per Second
• Find the centroid of any tracking data
• Gather mean color and variance data
• Gather a 28 bin histogram of each color channel
• Manipulate Horizontally Pixel Differenced Images
• Transfer a real-time binary bitmap of the tracked pixels in an image
• Arbitrary image windowing
• Adjust the camera’s image properties
• Dump a raw image (single or multiple channels)
• Up to 160 x 255 Resolution**
• Supports Multiple Baudrates: 115,200 57,600 38,400 19,200 9,600
4,800 2,400 1,200
• Control 5 servo outputs

The advantage is it not reqires a permanent connection to the PC.
Data exchange is done using the serial interface.

What about a small µP interface between the camera module serial
input/output and the infrared unit from the RCX?
Any ideas?

Bert
