Hi u all.
I just write these few lines to know about your experiences/oppinions about
computer vision/realtime/hardwaere developement.
I plan to build a system using off-the-shelf hardware, and gnu/free/...
software. Knowing that is not a comemrcial app.,
I think that I could use:

-cheap SBC x86, including USB and Ethernet
- QNX RTOS
- cheap USB Camera
- parallel port as input/output device
- ADA as the development language.

I know that Multimedia camera are not best suited for machine vision apps.
I know that maybe I will net to talk to a DSP.
I know that so far there's no ADA compiler for QNX (Maybe in the future).
Maybe the only way way will be C (some ASM too).
The RTOS is necessary as far as deadlines will be strict and the system has
to be deterministic.

Thankx in advance.
