RoboRealm provides you with an interactive and experimentation vision system to investigate the very complex world of robotic vision and image analysis. Through an easy to use analysis pipeline you can add image processing filters to translate an image into robotic movements, computer actions, or just plain fun! RoboRealm is free to download!

Image and/or video processing can be technically difficult. Home robots are continuously moving towards high powered PC based systems that are capable of supporting complex image processing functions. Sometimes you just need a testbed of current image processing applications to test potential ideas that you want your robot or computer+webcam application to perform. We've compiled several image processing functions into a freely available windows based application that you can use with your computer's webcam. You can use it to test out your vision ideas and see what may be possible or not ... have fun! We did!

Enjoy,
STeven.
