Verifying Channel Behavior
From the main screen, if the
Motors and Sensors
button is pressed, one of the options is for the
Camera
.
If pressed this will show the bounding boxes for the channels in the default configuration, with a
different bounding box color for each channel (QR codes boxed in black, Channel 0 blobs boxed in blue,
etc).
The default configuration is marked with a "star" and can be changed
to any other configuration listed by highlighting the configuration and
pressing the
Default
button.
KIPR Link Vision Library Functions
These are commonly used vision functions, for a complete list see the appendix.
camera_open(
<
resolution
>
)
Opens the camera using the currently loaded configuration. For most users, the default
configuration (as specified by
settings .. channels .. default
) is used. For another configuration to
be employed, it has to be loaded (see camera_load_config). A resolution of LOW_RES,
MED_RES, or HIGH_RES must be specified. For most purposes, LOW_RES will suffice and has the
least impact on system performance.
camera_close()
Closes the current camera instance and clears its presence from system resources.
