This repository contains the computer vision code for our entry into the 2014 Sparkfun AVC contest. Part of this year's contest is to attempt to find and pop 36" red balloons that are placed randomly on the course.
This code is based on a hardware-accelerated version of the OpenCV library and runs on a Nvidia Jetson TK1 development board that is shock-mounted to the multirotor aircraft.
Below is a screenshot illustrating the vision pipeline of the app from the raw feed to the resulting identification of a baloon on the debugOverlay.
