Slightly off topic but matchs up with cameras and robotics. In Servo magazine, a personal robotics magazine, http://www.servomagazine.com/index.php the January 2007 issue http://www.servomagazine.com/store.php?cat=2 has an article on cameras and robotics. http://www.servomagazine.com/preview.php?issue=44 Have you seen it? Below is what they have online about the January article. Back issues are $5. This article continues in the February issue. Seeing With OpenCV by Robin Hewitt OpenCV Intel's free, open-source computer-vision library can greatly simplify computer-vision programming. It includes advanced capabilities face detection, face tracking, face recognition, Kalman filtering, and a variety of artificial-intelligence (AI) methods in ready-to-use form. In addition, it provides many basic computer-vision algorithms via its lower-level APIs. A good understanding of how these methods work is the key to getting good results when using OpenCV. In this five-part series, I'll introduce you to OpenCV and show you how to use it to implement face detection, face tracking, and face recognition. Then, I'll take you behind the scenes to explain how each of these methods works and give you tips and tricks for getting the most out of them. This first article introduces OpenCV. I'll tell you how to get it and give you a few pointers for setting it up on your computer. You'll learn how to read and write image files, capture video, convert between color formats, and access pixel data all through OpenCV interfaces. Mike
