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....

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.
