How to count buns on conveyor?
I'm wondering how to make a reliable counter for multiple buns passing at the same time on a conveyor (not one by one).
I was thinking of running the whole thing with a cheap webcam and an odroid mini pc running either android or ubuntu.
Now I'm wondering, what would be the eaiest programming language to learn and use for something like this. The contrast between the conveyor(blue) and the buns is pretty high and the diameter of the bun is at least 10cm. a maximum of 8 buns will be next to each other.
edit:
I'll update later today.
Post some images the type of which you want to detect, and you will (hopefully) receive some advice on how to proceed. As for the estimates, you are in the wrong place. This is a forum for OpenCV-related computer vision algorithms, not for project-management or career advice.
