Finding location of rectangles in an image with OpenCV

I'm trying to use OpenCV to "parse" screenshots from the iPhone game Blocked. The screenshots are cropped to look like this: I suppose for right now I'm just trying to find the coordinates of each of the 4 points that make up each rectangle. I did see the sample file squares.c that comes with OpenCV, but when I run that algorithm on t...

Programmable cameras C# for vehicle system

Hi folks ! I recently joined a project where I need to get some vehicle based computer vision system. So what sort of special functionalities does a camera need, to be able to capture images while traveling at varying speeds ? for example how high a frame rate is required, and the exposure duration, shutter speed? Do you think that webca...

Normal of an equilateral triangle that has been arbitrarily transformed in 3D space

I have an issue that I can't quite seem to find a starting point on; I'm not even sure I can describe it well enough to get an answer. I need to find the normal of an equilateral triangle in 3D space without knowing the points of the triangle beforehand. Think about taking a photo of a triangular "yield" street sign from any angle, and...
