I’m making an autonomous Nerf sentry gun, and I want to use some sort of video camera for motion tracking. I’ve seen many sentry guns where the video feed goes through an actual laptop and is processed there, but I want to use a standalone Arduino to process the video feed. Is there an easy way to do this? I would rather not use a Raspberry Pi, because it’s much more complicated and less suited to driving hardware, and I won’t have a very complex targeting algorithm.
In a word ... no. You could try a shield like this ...moighonfweeman:

but even then the processing is fairly simplistic.
Going further to what Mac said, that’s why people use laptops because an Arduino cannot do video processing. It can barely do audio and that’s just simple notes. Most people use OpenCV for face/color tracking, then use the Arduino to map that data to servos.
