Fresh hacks every day
[Gustaf] has been playing around with machine vision for a while and sent in his latest project in on our tip line. It's a video based car radar system that can detect cars in a camera's field of vision while cruising down the highway. Like [Gustaf]'s previous experiments with machine vision where he got a computer to recognize and count yellow cylinders and green rectangles, the radar build … [Read more...]
It's neat how a project from 2004 can still be relevant if it's done really well. This is the case with AVRcam. It uses an Atmel AVR mega8 and can do some pretty impressive things, like track up to eight objects at 30fps. The hardware and software is also open source, so it should be possible to build one yourself. There are many projects like it on the internet, though often they require much … [Read more...]
Here's yet another robot hoping to dominate the human race through the power of ROCK. Cythbot was built to demonstrate Cyth Systems machine vision systems. The device uses a camera to watch the Guitar Hero monitor and identify notes for button presses. The strum bar is then triggered after a delay. The notes are identified solely by pixel intensity since star power can cause them to change shape … [Read more...]
