Auto Aim with Webcam Only
Vision-Driven Mode
Webcam-only mode is useful for vision-focused testing and correction experiments. Treat it as a controlled mode, not your only match fallback.
Step 1
Configure Vision Stack
  • AprilTag processor for ID + pose information.
  • Color blob processor (optional) for artifact context.
  • VisionPortal as runtime camera pipeline manager.
  • Step 2
    Set Detection Filters
    Decode-style blob filtering parameters:
  • Contour area range: 50 to 20000
  • Circularity range: 0.6 to 1.0
  • Use ROI to reduce irrelevant background detections.
  • Step 3
    Bind Vision Output to Aim Decisions
  • Use tag metadata confidence to decide if correction is allowed.
  • If confidence drops, hold previous stable target or fall back to IMU mode.
  • Never feed noisy frame-by-frame angle directly to servos.
  • Step 4
    Test in Match-Like Conditions
  • Test under bright and dim lighting transitions.
  • Test with motion blur (sudden turns/acceleration).
  • Test with temporary occlusions by robot parts and game elements.
  • Step 5
    Keep Safety Layers Active
  • Keep shooting-area checks active.
  • Keep manual cancel and fallback mode switching on controller.
  • Store telemetry logs so you can debug confidence drops quickly.
  • Webcam-only mode can degrade fast if lighting changes suddenly. Always keep an IMU-based backup.

    Continue to IMU + Webcam Fusion for a more robust competition-ready mode.
