VisionCar

This project aims at tracking a known object from a vehicle and follow the target at a pre-fixed distance. The RC car is mounted with a camera which is interfaced to a Raspberry Pi Compute module. The Compute module performs the required image processing using OpenCV and provides relevant data to the Car Controller for driving. An Android Application is developed to allow a user to select an object by adjusting the HSV filter thresholds. These values are then used by the imaging application to track the desired object.

 === Software Design and Implementation ===
-Show your software design.  For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level.  Do not show the details of the code.  For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code.  Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.
