OpenCV on CBC
Sun, 11/14/2010 - 20:56
Has anyone made any attempts at running OpenCV on the CBC yet? It doesn't seem like it'd be too terribly difficult, especially with the already existing work of Rand and others. Also interesting would be getting JNA running with CBCJVM by recompiling the jniloader library, which would also give access to the java bindings for OpenCV.
I'm going to try to get JNA running on arm.
If it's not broken, take it apart and fix it
Isn't it fun when your team's home base is only about a mile from GCER?
While you could probably get OpenCV compiled and running with relative ease, getting the camera to work would be a completely different story. The camera's driver is a hack job, and corrupts itself at resolutions higher than 160x120. If you do have any success though it would be neat to hear about. Truthfully I haven't used JNA for anything too serious, but it should be easy to get working. I considered JNA for a long while, but eventually went with JNI for the CBCJVM libcbc binding.
Best of Luck.

OpenCV is also VERY resource intensive. In reality you would most likely only do things the KISS library already supports.
All is fair in love and war, and botball is both :)
As Scott said, OpenCV really isn't designed for low-end computers like the Chumby; it probably wouldn't have the performance necessary for Botball.
