#181036 - image capture devices for MCU applications |
Hi everyone,
One of my students is doing a project looking at making robots exhibit flocking behaviour. We want the robots to be able to "see" their surroundings at any given time and do some very simple image processing to make decisions about where to go next. The visual appearance of the robots and the space they operate in will be tightly controlled so the algorithms are simple enough to be put on an MCS-51 derivative mcu. The robot only needs to see its 2D surroundings so the image we want only needs to be a single horizontal line of pixels from the camera. Can anyone suggest a camera or other suitable RGB light sensor that can be read easily by the microcontroller? the only ones we can find so far are CCD video cameras which have composite video outputs or USB but I'm wondering if there are some other devices out there that give more direct access to the digital pixel values in a more microcontroller-friendly way. Any leads? Best wishes Chris |
