When you are packing a bunch of spinning blade(mowing grass), or 50" sharp knife(plowing snow) and they say @9ft radius accuracy you kinda lose interest. What I want to test this winter for localization is http://www.havahartwireless.com/shop/wireless-dog-fence/custom-shape-pet-fence Tommy

If it was more accurate GPS would be a great localizing tool, as is GPS can only be counted on for @9ft radius with an open sky view. I use a few SDK's that let me manipulate video data into images that can be filtered at a fairly high rate. filters that product a negitive of an image then...

The cameras I'm looking for now are for ROV mode. But even so any latency make moving close to things tough. The Mule uses dead reckoning as it's main positioning system(now) then uses an on-board USB web cam, digital compass and a Yaw axis feedback with .005 deg. resolution to get it real...

Theres the rub, I'm using the cameras as a proximity sensors and localization in the autonomous mode. I'll have check into that. Tommy

Dan, I'm not looking for motion detecting cameras. Because my Mule has to work very close to objects(like Cars, house,ect.) any delay in the video could cause me lots of explaining(like why I hit my lovers car). even the Network(Wifi) camera I'm testing now has about half a second of latency. so...

Hi forum! and happy New Year. For the last month I'v been trying to find cameras(USB/Network)that will work for my Mule. as is I have 5 cameras now in the junk bin that are just too slow to respond to movement. I'm now testing a Linksys network(Wifi)camera, but it even has a .5 sec latency...
