Total Open CV newbie. I am considering project that would track the motion of the tip of rod as it moved straight back and forth in the field of vision, sort of like watching a pool cue stick from the side as someone makes a shot.
Since I am only interested in the area where the tip would be extending and retracting, could I skip digitizing the rows where the cue stick tip should never go? This should decrease the time to read the image from the camera and decrease the time to analyze the image.
If there is a better place to ask the question please let me know.
TIA Adk Chris
