Design of a light tracking system using machine vision technique

A two degree of freedom (DOF) light tracking system is presented in this paper. It uses a web camera as a vision sensor, PC sound cards as output signal controllers, and two DC motors as a pan-tilt driver mechanism. The sound card is expected to produce a higher output signal in a PWM form to drive...
