IMAGE PROCESSING USING ARDUINO

I want to start image processing using matlab and interfacing it with arduino ... actually i want to make a robot which can process image... i am working on arduino platform.... so i want a guide from where to start....

As I recall, Matlab has an image processing library available, so if you can get the data from the image sensor to Matlab, you can generate command decisions to the Arduino over a number of different interface methods.

You might want to checkout RobotSee. It is a robotics library that incompasses a lot of functions in a simple way.

I hope this helps,

Hi, not sure about MatLab, but I have seen a couple demos of embedded computer vision that use OpenCV. However, this really needs much more power than an AVR-based Arduino. Typically an ARM-based system is used. Checkout this thread:

Now if you want to do the image processing on a PC with MatLab then you probably don't need beefy embedded hardware to actually run the computer vision software. But a sufficient embedded system like the BeagleBoard might provide a more mobile solution that would not be dependent on a PC to do the processing.

In regards to the software, there's another post on OpenCV here at:

Also, when I was at Maker Faire Detroit, I saw a talk by SimpleCV:

They have tried to provide a higher level of abstraction on top of OpenCV.

Cheers,
Drew

You might want to consider going open source and using Scilab instead of MATLAB and just use a serial port connection. Online community for help:

One time I participated in a project with MATLAB image processing and outputing data to arduino over serial. So I can tell, tha it is posible. But my modification for this image processing aplication ant arduino was making Matlac to send data to arduino, not the other way araound

Would you mind to tell me how can you output the processed image to Audrinuo in Matlab
