Fiducials work -- sort of.

The good news is that fiducials work.  Every method of CCV with fiducial support that I tried worked like a champ.  With some caveats.

The bad news is that the dimensions of the table I've built and the surface area to camera resolution are not going to support fiducials.  This isn't to say that I won't get it working for the table properly, but it does mean that I'll have to run a second instance of CCV or reactivision to handle fiducials using a second set of cameras.

Fortunately I have a couple of HD cams sitting around from an earlier venture into the realm of moding auto focus cameras.  I'll do more testing with these this weekend and hopefully take some photos for those visually minded readers (out of the three of you).

Back in action!

I recently recovered from taking an evening class.  Grabbed the new cameras and dug into the table again.

Success if pretty much how I'd describe it.  Very quickly I was able to get nearly full screen width coverage of touch which was previously unattainable with the lesser camera.  I have two ps3Eye cams now, but only one of them is in use for touch.  My plan is to try to use the second camera for object and shape recognition. 

Using CCV 1.2 with the fiducial tracker I was able to see the shape but the software failed to detect it. 

Will have to tweak this more when I get a moment.  For now?  Sleep!
