I've been thinking of a project for a while now where I would need to get live images from a camera into VB so I could do object detection. I haven't decided on a camera yet, but it'll probably just be a cheap USB webcam. The camera will be looking at a blank wall with a lased diode dot. I need to 'find' the dot and produce relative X and Y coordinates. Cycling through the bits of an image is straightforward enough, but I'm not sure how to read the images from the camera. Suggestions? -Denny -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
