Western State received a modified power wheels truck from a Harvey Mudd College CIS Professor, Prof. Zach Dodds. The truck, also known as A.J. (Automated Jeep), has been outfitted with a controller that allows the computer to interact with on-board servos directly controlling the vehicle's steering and speed. They will be demonstrating the use of the OpenCV vision system to control the truck. Vision techniques include range-based color spectrum blob tracking, contrast-based shape detection, and blob-size speed control.
