CMUcam OVERVIEW • SX28 Microcontroller interfaced with a OV6620 omnivision CMOS camera. • $ 109.00
CMUcam Vision Sensor MAIN FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITIES • 80 * 143 image Resolution. • Dump images (color blobs). • Track images at 17 frames / seconds. • Find centroid of image. • Adjust the camera’s image properties. • Ability to control a servo or use one Digital I/O pin. • RS-232 serial or TTL data communication.
CMUcam Vision Sensor DISADVANTAGES • Response to ambient and florescent light. • Servo’s sensitivity to image tracking.
CMUcam Vision Sensor RELEVANCE TO OUR PROJECT • Eyes for vehicle navigation. • Preliminary steps for steering control.
How does it work? • The black and white disk is for creating pulses. • The reflected beam on the black segment will cause the sensor to output a signal (pulse). • Each pulse corresponds to a specific distance traveled. • The number of pulses in a given time will determine the speed.
Speed • Number of pulses = (n) • Distance = (n * x) • Speed = Dist. / Time.
