This week’s project-of-the-week comes in the form of a computer vision project by our member Brandon. He’s using SimpleCV on a Raspberry Pi to recognize a circle of a certain color, and then estimate distance to it based on comparing it’s known size to the size it sees with the camera. Brandon has posted some of his code at the bottom of the article, so be sure to look for that.
Pretty awesome Brandon!
[EDIT: it helps if I remember to add the link to his site! 🙂 ]
