Anons, I am supposed to help build an optical sorting machine. The machine basically consists of cameras that monitor a feed of particles or objects and detect abnormal ones. They report the position of these objects to a device that ejects them with a puff of air. Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLya2NuY4Yk [Embed]
My responsibility will be writing the image processing software, however, I have no experience with working with hardware (mech engineering background). So, I have a few questions:
1. Does it matter which programming language I use? I know C++ and Matlab, but Python seems to have a ton of image processing libraries.
2. I know how to feed an image into an app I've written on a computer, process it and get output. How the fuck do I do that with chips and shit?
3. Do you think this is doable for someone with no embedded experience?
