11:21 PM rue_bed: kinda, real world sucks
11:23 PM zhanx: 2 questions why black, is that a filter out math doing the color change
11:23 PM zhanx: rue_bed, has to remember i want to scan full color for possible future printing
11:24 PM rue_bed: the shop lights were off
11:24 PM rue_bed: thats the computer monitor in the background
11:24 PM zhanx: i realize that
11:24 PM rue_bed: its doing the diff and dropping green
11:24 PM zhanx: why blackout the shop then
11:25 PM rue_bed: I ONLY want the line so I can get position
11:25 PM rue_bed: thats how it works
11:25 PM zhanx: I saw a video, i should have bookmarked.
11:25 PM zhanx: the line is a known point tho
11:25 PM rue_bed: its not using photos to render it, its using the line to find the distance from the camera
11:26 PM zhanx: ok your doing real time, my computer is too slow for that
11:26 PM rue_bed: no
11:26 PM rue_bed: I have the pi push all the images to a server that processes them
11:27 PM rue_bed: take image, turn laser on, take image, turn laser off, rotate table,
11:27 PM zhanx: ok i think we are doing this different then, I am doing that part
11:27 PM zhanx: but processing the whole line at once
11:29 PM rue_bed: I need to only see the laser line, so I can work out its offset in the scanline
