Hello,
I'm wondering how possible it is for a complete beginner to make a reliable counter, there will be multiple buns passing at the same time (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 eachother.
Now I'm looking for someone with experience to tell me, how long would you guess It'd take me to learn the programming language and make a functional program that does the above. I'm looking at a maximum of about 4 weeks(40h or more a week). Can this be done?
Thanks in advance
