Embedded application

Question

Over the past two months, I have been working as a simple application using the computer vision library (OpenCV).

I want to run this application directly from a webcam without the need for an OS. I am curious to know if my application can be burned in a chip so that it does not have an OS to run it.

Ofcorse process can be expensive, but I'm just curious. Do you have links to this?

ps: the application is written in C.

Answer 1

Yes. Theoretically, you can transfer the application to PIC chips.

CMUCam

I think you should take a look at the CMUcam project , which offers affordable equipment and an image processing library that runs on their hardware.
