LIDAR

In this project, I used a a webcam and a line laser that was being interrupted at regular intervals to find the distance to various objects.

The program took the video feed and compared adjacent frames to find the areas that the laser was illuminating. It then performed an inverse perspective transformation to get the top down view. The distance from the highlighted areas to the bottom of the screen was the distance to the object.

There is now a version avaliable for sale on Wug Robot.
