Vision Based USB Missile Launcher

The components of this tutorial were purposely kept cheap which translates into very noisy equipment and imprecise movements and firing ... but the system is nevertheless capable of performing the desired task.

Your turn ...

From this tutorial you should be able to create an automated Sentry gun that instead detects visual based objects and targets those objects instead of using manual control.

Want to try this yourself? Download the USB Missile Launcher .robo file to run an example yourself.

If you don't have a Joystick try this one which is configured to use your keyboard cursor keys to move the launcher. Press space for fire! Note that you need RoboRealm installed to run this file. Clicking on any of the modules within the RoboRealm pipeline will bring up that interface and allow you to customize it for yourself.

The End

That's all folks. We hope you've enjoyed this little adventure into an application of machine vision processing and have inspired you to download a free trial of our software.
