Download VB6 CameraTest Files                           

I experimented around with the free Google Doc web storage system this afternoon and it was easy to upload the VB6 files that I have been working on. You can download them at the following link. Feel free to use them in anyway that you want. 




 
 Camera Image Quality

I have the camera pointed at the very plain looking meter face from about one and a half  inches away. I cannot see  much difference in the image quality for the whole range of compression ratios. I do know that the camera loads the image the fastest when the compression is set to about 210. From that short focal distance, there is quite a bit of fish-eye type of distortion to the image. I plan to experiment with other camera lenses that I have lying about. There is quite a bit of reflection off of the meter face. The reflected LED light washes out the image in places. I will be experimenting with other kinds of illumination. I have already written a preliminary image recognition program but I am having problems because of the lighting.
