Description

The OpenMV Cam is a small, low power, microcontroller board which allows you to easily

implement applications using machine vision in the real-world. You program the OpenMV Cam

in high level Python scripts (courtesy of the MicroPython Operating System) instead of C/C++.

This makes it easier to deal with the complex outputs of machine vision algorithms and working

with high level data structures. But, you still have total control over your OpenMV Cam and its

I/O pins in Python. You can easily trigger taking pictures and video on external events or execute

machine vision algorithms to figure out how to control your I/O pins.

Applications

The OpenMV Cam can be used for the following things currently (more in the future):

•Frame Differencing

You can use Frame Differencing on your OpenMV Cam to detect motion in a scene by looking

at what's changed. Frame Differencing allows you to use your OpenMV Cam for security

applications.

•Color Tracking

You can use your OpenMV Cam to detect up to 32 colors at a time in an image (realistically

you'd never want to find more than 4) and each color can have any number of distinct blobs.

Your OpenMV Cam will then tell you the position, size, centroid, and orientation of each blob.

Using color tracking your OpenMV Cam can be programmed to do things like tracking the sun,

line following, target tracking, and much, much, more. Video demo here.

•Marker Tracking

You can use your OpenMV Cam to detect groups of colors instead of independent colors. This

allows you to create color makers (2 or more color tags) which can be put on objects allowing

your OpenMV Cam to understand what the tagged objects are. Video demo here.

•Face Detection

You can detect Faces with your OpenMV Cam (or any generic object). Your OpenMV Cam can

process Haar Cascades to do generic object detection and comes with a built-in Frontal Face

Cascade and Eye Haar Cascade to detect faces and eyes.

•Eye Tracking

You can use Eye Tracking with your OpenMV Cam to detect someone's gaze. You can then, for

example, use that to control a robot. Eye Tracking detects where the pupil is looking versus

detecting if there's an eye in the image.

•Optical Flow

You can use Optical Flow to detect translation of what your OpenMV Cam is looking at. For

example, you can use Optical Flow on a quad-copter to determine how stable it is in the air.

•QR Code Detection/Decoding

You can use the OpenMV Cam to read QR Codes in it's field of view. With QR Code

Detection/Decoding you can make smart robots which can read labels in the environment. You

can see our video on this feature here.

•AprilTag Tracking

Even better than QR Codes above, the OpenMV Cam M7 can also track AprilTags at 160x120 at

up to about 12 FPS. AprilTags are rotation, scale, shear, and lighting invariant state-of-the-art

fidicual markers. We have a video on this feature here.

•Edge/Line Detection

You can preform edge detection via either the Canny Edge Detector algorithm or simple high-

pass filtering followed by thresholding. After you have a binary image you can then use the

Hough Detector to find all the lines in the image. With edge/line detection you can use your

OpenMV Cam to easily detect the orientation of objects.
