Upgrading hardware to deal with lighting conditions
Hi, Following my previous post, I plan on upgrading the hardware setup by using LEDs to increase light intensity around the table to improve puck detection. This will hopefully provide enough light that the camera can detect the puck through all areas of the table. I plan on calculating the initial brightness of the table by its histogram and depending on the results will yield different LED behaviours e.g. low light intensity will turn on the LED strip. In addition, to make my system more sophisticated, I can calculate the areas with low light intensity within the camera frame and turn on specific regions of the LED strip thus reducing the need to turn the whole LED strip. Although, this will be future work as I plan on sticking with my Gantt Chart and progress with my project. Immanuel
