image recognition system/software

[bloody-orc]

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.

No expert in this, perhaps you might consider ...

pattern recognition

HTH

 

[bloody-orc]

didn't find anything useful from there sadly...

any other ideas?

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.

Plot spoiler: Machine vision is hard.

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

There is free software if you play as a pirate.
