myFollower - Autonomous Colour Detecting Rover Robot

[NI-MarkN]

Title: Autonomous 4-wheeled Colour Detecting Rover Robot

Overview of what project is:

This project is an autonomous 4-wheel robot capable of doing colour recognition in real-time. The rover does image processing on a camera’s video stream and then decides on its movements accordingly. It is able to detect two different colours (red or blue) and then track them. Once robot gets close enough to the object it stops and if the object is too close it will try to run away from it. This rover is a great example of how to use LabVIEW’s Vision toolkit to develop robust image processing applications that are widely used in the industry and academia from auto-processing plants to research of robotics. Furthermore, the colour-following robot can be easily used as a platform to test and learn more advanced image processing such as face detection or specific pattern-matching as the code used for camera input, motor control and servo movements is modular, easy to use and adapt.

 hi.respected sir i need your help about my project which is based on object tracking and pointing system.can you send me Documents which is you used in the   Autonomous 4-wheeled Colour Detecting Rover Robot i don't want to make the Robot am just implement pan/tilt mechanism with my camera in my project to track the colored object.  In Autonomous 4-wheeled Colour Detecting Rover Robot  you using only one servo motor which is rotate the camera only horizontally.i want to move my camera vertically too. so i need your help which is another .vi  used to move camera vertically or what any other changes done in existing .vi to move the camera vertically.because i used two  servo motors.Thanks .Qasim ali
