Lighting

Hey everyone,
I spoke to someone of last year's group and told me that we should implement a light source of our own in the rig itself, as they had a bad experience with using the external lights.

what we could to is test how we did yesterday but not with direct light, meaning covering the light source with some form of material to dim make it less shiny on the glass...

I think we should test it asap because it more safe to have our own light milli we go to the final presentation and the system wont read the fiducials.

what do you think?

  1. guys the way im seeing it, as things stand, there is too much external light, so the webcam closes its lens to let in less light (presetting to improve image quality), and this makes the rest of the glass dark, so it makes it harder to read fiducials....we could try shining the lightsource directly at the glass to counter this..

    in that case, it should have the same effect as using flash to take a photo in sunlight (to avoid silhouette effect)
