The camera and lens removes many coding lines. But there is still a problem. If its an AI vehicle, even if it calculated the parameters necessary to move within micro-seconds, the terrian would add many problems thus the vehicle can only move a few rolls at time. Remember the Mars rover? Now if it was a Walking Robot, that would be crazy! The first thing would be to stabilize the movements, possibly having a X-Y-Z level meter in its belly...which will limit to a few movements per second. Still too slow. :-) On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 3:31 PM, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com> wrote:
ok, moving object detected and is stationary. What next?
A video camera can be used. An open source program like this can be used : http://dorgem.sourceforge.net/
Focal point of lens can be used for depth perception (perspective)
Then you can code the screen pixels such that the extreme left top is (x,y) 0'0 and Z being a variable - etc
