The current project that I am working on requires me to calibrate A LOT (underwater), so I figured if I can make a simple program to take in a picture(preferably camera feed) and auto calibrate colors (or manual adjustments) and auto update the BGR/HSV variables (thanks for the correction), then that would make my life so much easier. If you guys see an easier way of doing this, then by all means, I am very open to suggestions. Thank you for your input.

Is it possible to edit the RGB and HSV values through a simple Visual Basic program while my opencv object detection program is running (calibration purposes)? if so how would I go about that? The object detection code works and so does my VB program, just need them to talk while both of them are running. Thanks!

Thank you awknaust, I think I might go with your second choice (ubuntu) because of the friendly camera driver.

Hello, I am hoping you guys can point me in the right direction...I am working on a fully autonomous robotic submarine with a group friends, and I signed up to be part of the programming team. We all came to an agreement that we want OpenCV to be the submarines eyes and are going to be taking in constant video from 2 cameras 90% of the time, 3-4 cameras 10% of the of the time. Because we do not want the submarine to be to big, we bought a Mini-ITX motherboard and threw in an i7-3770, SSD, and 8gb of RAM to handle as much processing power as possible without a video card (because of heat, size, power consumption, and budget).

I need your guys help choosing an OS to put in there. We are all fluent in Windows but are looking to run Linux instead. We want to isolate as much power as possible to run the cameras, and talk back and forth with our Arduinos. What do you guys recommend? what linux distro is good for developers, somewhat easy to use (with a GUI), fast, and uses little resources? or would you stick with windows? does OpenCV run better on linux?

Thanks guys!!!
