Is there a wireless camera can be used in computer vision?

Hello everyone,

I plan an experiment and need to process the image and detect the color blob. The problem is the camera should be wireless one. But I am not familiar with the wireless one. Could you please help me to select some suitable camera? I expect the resolution to be around 1280*1024[font=arial, sans-serif][/font][highlight=#ffffff]and 30-100 FPS.[/highlight]

Thank you!
David

Hi David,

Most systems out there are made for R/C and use Analog video signal connected to a 5.8gHz video transmitter.
At the other end, you have a 5.8gHz receiver and can do anything with the signal.

If you want to use it on Computer, you might want to use a Raspberry Pi and a Webcam.
Once the video acquired in the Pi you can send it by WiFi to another device.

What would be the best option for you ?

Also you can try a GoPro, it has build in 2.4ghz WLAN to connect wireless. Also take a look at the SJ4000, its a gopro clone with all features as the original one.

As Eric described, 5.8Ghz analog technology is also a suitable solution, easy to setup and very cheap. Also try to google for “FPV” gear (first person view)

Thank you and Eric. I have a GoPro, but do you know how does the image from GoPro can be processed using computer?

The GoPro is very well documented, you can have a look HERE.

I had to dig into robot products in Robotshop and found the Dragonfly camera.About the size of a small of a double aa battery.For some reason nobody knows about it.I bought one for $250.00.

Good Luck!
