USB Webcam Line Detection

[sebogawa]

I am working on a robot that stays in between two white lines that are ten feet apart and three inches wide. I am using web cams angled at 45 degrees on the x and y, which are always pointing toward the lines. I need to write a program that detects and tracks the white lines, and somehow tell the robot to adjust direction so it stays parallel and in between the two white lines. I found source for a simple web cam app on the net and it uses the open GL library. Im not sure how to post the source so u guys can see it because it is in many parts (header files, rc, and source files). If you guys have any idea of how to write this using the openGL library or anything better for that matter, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

There is a guy, Chesnokov Yuriy, on The Code Project^[1] that has done alot of articles on vision and image processing, it may be worth checking them out. You could start with Real-Time Object Tracker in C++^[2].

Good luck.
