Selecting Frame rate

[msg256]

Hello,

After reading through the previous software threads It seems to me that the frame rate is the key issue behind implementing more complex computer vision algorithms like SIFT. Would it be possible then to have pixy capture video at a slower frame rate or be externally triggered to capture one frame at a time like commercial vision sensors?

Thanks

Hi Maksym,

Yes, you can easily control the rate at which you get new frames. The m0 side of the processor will be continuously capturing frames from the image sensor and placing them in a buffer in shared memory. All you need to do is read that buffer from the m4 side whenever you want a new frame. Its as easy as that!
