Hello, I've been having a bit of trouble finding tutorials on developing a Laser Pointer with C++, if anyone could help me and point me in the right direction. I've found some tutorials and repos on GitHub, but using Python. I wanted to develop using C++ because I want to implement it with Unity3D.

Basically, I want the OpenCV to detect a red laser dot and return its center position. Thanks a lot!

this requires a strong laser pointer or a dark room. if you don't have that, the problem becomes harder.

binarize the picture. you can use simple thresholding on the grayscale picture.

then you calculate moments (cv::moments). the centroid of your blob would be the point (m10/m00, m01/m00)
