Very interesting Ralph.

I always wandered if it would be possible to do head position tracking for
robot calibration based on OpenCV. Do you think that this would be possible
using a real time HAL module, written in C, using the a PREEMPT RT PATH
real time based kernel?. If it is possible, I suppose that GPU power could
theoretically be made available to OpenCV operations.

What is you opinion?.

Thanks,

Javier
