2 Introduction

This lab uses nested loops to process video images to track a target. Whereas the previous lab tracked a target by panning the camera, in this lab students will attempt to track a target where both the pan and tilt of the camera can change. Students will learn how to:

• use nested loops
• use MATLAB to acquire images from a video camera
• use MATLAB to process images acquired from the camera
  
• use MATLAB and the Phidget to control a pan-tilt platform to track a target
