I am designing a laser targeting system on which various control methods will be implemented and compared. The system consists of a laser pointer mounted on a two axis gimbal. The laser shines on a 30 cm x 30 cm white screen, behind which is a digital camera. The camera sends all information into Matlab, which computes the X and Y coordinates of the laser on the screen. There coordinates are then sent into dSpace, where the control is performed.
Problem: Right now the camera and image processing is working at about 13 frames per second, which is usually too slow to get accurate measurements of the position of the moving laser.
Anyone have any recommendations for relatively cheap solutions to this problem? The whole white screen / camera subsystem can be replaced if needed.
Here is a link to the project if anyone needs any further information. https://sites.google.com/a/temple.edu/nonlinear-control-of-laser-targeting-system/
