Auto White Balance Experiment

The experiment was to determine how auto white balance affects Trackerbox2, and what cameras are best at tracking with auto white balance on.

There are 2 types of camera's tested:

• Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000
• Official Pi Ribbon Camera Model 2.0

With the Pi Ribbon Camera, Trackerbox2 was able to track the Power Cube until it took up about 60% of the screen, then it was unable to reliably track the cube. It also was running at ~5.5 fps and a latency of 1.5 Seconds. It was about the size of a Nickel

With the Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000, It was able to track the Power Cube until it took up the entire screen. It was able to track the entire time. It was running at ~4.8 fps and a latency of 1.5 Seconds. It was the size of a usb life camera Life camera.

Questions:

• Prefer Distance of tracking vs. Size/type of connection of Camera
• How close does fab need to track up to
