Hi there. i'm trying to do some image recognition (look at a speciffic object, find the line etc.). i have searced the first 3 pages of google, but came out with the same knollage as i went into the search. also the soft must be free

PS: i'm using a webcam, that doesn't have the best quality... it is in USB, win is XP:SP2 and machine is PC.

Perhaps a little more explanation as to what you are trying to do would help.

From what you indicated (identify an object, follow a line) pattern recognition is typically the approach taken. You have an image/pattern that you are comparing with the real time images that you are receiving from the camera.

i was thinking something that does not include this comaring. i just need to read every 10'th pixel or so and see what colour it is and then do something. as i have spoken to a friend of mine, he sed that he has made one of those. sadly e has discarded this. so i'm searching something similar to this...

OK now showing off googling capabilities :lol: .

Different google search yielded this.

Possibly an overkill using a neural network for what you described ... it has the source code, it's free, something to play around with. There is a discussion of the article at the end of the page :wink: (did not look at the comments in any way).

I have an excellent book on the subject: Machine Vision .

https://books.google.co.uk/books?ie...pg=PA1&pg=PA2&sig=56P9_ddbCdej0Sj64mdohUvSZHc

Gives loads of examples.

If it's for some common application, like OCR or 3D model generation, then there should be free software available.
