Hi Boris,<br>
<br>
It is possible to do what you want using the VideoTexture module in
Blender. Though bear in mind you need a decent graphics card for this
method to work.<br>
The description of the module is here:<br>

As part of the MORSE simulator project, we have implemented camera
modules for mobile robots. You can take a look at the project here:

And there is also a description of the camera module here:

All the best.<br>

everybody,<br>
<br>
I posted this message in Blender's forums first but now I realize that
i should have asked the blendered roboticist first. Anyway, here it
goes:<br>
I would like to get the content of what my camera is watching, I guess
an RGB matrix like in a real camera.<br>
I'm modelling a small mobile robot with a camera on top of it, so it'll
see the different colored boxes and balls in his world through its
camera. Now, how do I read the content of that image in the camera.<br>
In a real robot, the camera provides a matrix with let's say 320x240
pixels for each color channel, usually 3 channels RGB or HSV. Once that
matrix is acquired the rest of the computer vision stuff can be applied
to control the robot.<br>
Is it possible to get this kind of information in Blender's camera???<br>
<br>
Any help, comments and suggestions on how to solve this problem will be
greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Boris</span></span>
