Is there anyone interested in setting up an open source alternative to the IMAQ Vision toolkit using OpenCV. I've done some preliminary work to see if it is possible, but before I go offering up my work so far I was curious if anyone was interested. I think this would be a good addition to OpenG's set of tools, but I thought this forum would be a good sounding board to see if such a toolkit would be desired. If this topic is of interest to you please reply to this post, where we can begin to work out some of the details.
Thanks,
Chris Davis
That's a great idea! In fact we're actively doing something similar that at http://www.roborealm.com/ for free!
The free or open source tools each have their benefits. OpenCV is certainly the best known and probably widest scope but typically requires c++ programming to make use of it. Others like ImageJ (Java based) have a more microscopy focus and nicer GUI .. there are many out there as both libraries and/or applications. For a comprehensive list that we've found check out http://www.roborealm.com/links/vision_software.php
