Project Objectives

  • Build a servo controlled pan-tilt camera system.
  • Program the camera to track target objects.

Project Details

  • A servo controller was assembled to mount a webcam.
  • A ROS node was developed to control the pan-tilt servo mechanism.
  • Image processing using OpenCV script was written to filter out the target object (a red ball was chosen).
  • Using data from above processing, a ROS node was developed to get the location of the red ball.
