RoboRealm machine vision software adds support for SRV-1
The SRV-1 can now be directly controlled from RoboRealm, a very popular Windows-based machine vision software package for robots. The RoboRealm extensions for SRV-1 allow creation of scripts that combine image processing on live video feeds from the robot, e.g. color filtering, blob detection/tracking, edge detection/outlining and feature extraction, with decision processing and robot motion control, making it easy to create behaviors such as object location and tracking, obstacle avoidance, motion detection, notification, etc, with a web interface, and control can be scripted from C/C++, Python, Java, C#, Lisp, Visual Basic, WScript and COM through the RoboRealm API.
An overview of RoboRealm's support for SRV-1 is found here - http://www.roborealm.com/help/Surveyor_SRV1.php.
A tuturial using VBScript with RoboRealm and the SRV-1 for wall following is found here - http://www.roborealm.com/tutorial/Surveyor_SRV1_maze/slide010.php.

RoboRealm software is free (it's supported by website advertising) and very capable. There is an active forum and excellent technical support. Make certain to give this a try, and let us know if there are any issues either via the Surveyor Robotics Forum or the RoboRealm User Forum.
