PhotonVision/photonvision
PhotonVision is the free, fast, and easy-to-use computer vision solution for the FIRST Robotics Competition.
This software helps high school robotics teams give their robots the ability to 'see' and react to objects on the competition field. It takes live camera feeds as input and processes them to identify specific game pieces or field markers, providing key information like position and orientation. Robotics team members, including student programmers and mentors, use this to build more autonomous and effective robots for the FIRST Robotics Competition.
401 stars.
Use this if you are a FIRST Robotics Competition team looking for a free, fast, and easy-to-use computer vision system to help your robot track targets.
Not ideal if you need a computer vision solution for general industrial automation, professional drone navigation, or any application outside of the FIRST Robotics Competition.
