Vision in NXT

-


The Mindsensors NXTCam-v2 vision subsystem allows users to define their object colors and track objects. Track up to 8 objects simultaneously. The object shapes could be boxes or lines. Reporting coordinates for all the objects it finds to the NXT. This is an excellent device for innovative educational courses, covering robotic vision. NXTCam can also be used as a color sensor, Roboball sensor, IR-Seeker, etc. This system ¬¬has real-time image processing capability.

Features:

• Connects to NXT on a sensor port
• Connects to computer using USB interface (USB Cable sold separately, RB-Spa-47)
• Tracks line or up to 8 objects (with 8 different user defined colors) at 30fps
• Adjustable lens focus
• Lens with built in infrared blocking filter
• Provides real-time tracking statistics to NXT
• Power consumption: 42 mA (max) at 4.7V
• PC not needed for autonomous operation on NXT
• Supported environments: NXT-G, RobotC, LeJOS, NXC
• Enclosed Design
• I2C interface with Lego Mindstorms NXT connector
• USB "Mini B" interface for optional PC operation
• Perfect for education and experimenting with robotic vision

Note: Using NXTCam requires fair amount of programming expertise and analytical skills.

Time: 4.5 hrs.
