I imagine this is the correct forum to post in. So, here's the situation.
My team and I have been assigned a project for a video stopwatch. Simply put, it is not much more than a regular stopwatch which utilizes video input to increase its accuracy.
A big problem we are facing is not the processing algorithms, but rather the hardware we are going to run it on.
I'm looking for some suggestions from anyone with experience with this stuff, in particular some cheap development kits we could possibly attain. We have a pretty vague idea of the hardware we can use, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically we need the following: video input from a camera - we were considering using a web cam and get a dev kit with a usb interface, though getting a small enough camera is essential. Some kind of DSP board, either digital or analog input. Low power consumption, all packaged together in a relatively small unit.
If you guys could point us in the right direction, we'd be interested in hearing it. Or, if you are experienced with DSP boards and need me to elaborate more, drop me a PM.
Thanks in advance. :beer:
