Position Tracking using NI Vision

[linu95k]

I am trying to build a position Tracking System to ensure Screwing Sequence of a Part, how can this be achieved using NI Vision?

I need easy calibration, Position Logging, Need to Guide Operator to the correct location and generate multiple sequence profile with minimum 10 positions per profile.

This is fairly new to me so I am not sure what type of camera I should be using.

Vision simply isn't easy...

I'd start looking at some vision builder, NI Imaq and maybe even (Python) OpenCV examples.

I'd start with a webcam or even a laptop camera (of any quality).

Of course, you can start without a camera, using photo's (that still require a camera, but I hope you get the point).

Vision has a lot of very specific problems. That's why there are (thick) books about it, and why vision specialists exist.

Without knowing any\all of the details (about your vision knowledge and the project), it's going to be hard to even guess if your application is an example that will work with a standard webcam and some kitchen supplies or if it's a 4 years project, or even if it's possible or not.

But at least you realize it starts with the correct camera. Hopefully you'll consider (shielding from) lighting too, early in the project. Once you picked a camera you might need to pick a lens too...

With vision, conditions are crucial.
