Former Research Projects

• Highspeed Dartboard : The main objective of this team semester project was to offer all participating students a highly detailed look at an interdisciplinary project work (mechanics, electronics, software). Furthermore they were able to get to know the importance of the interoperability of all these disciplins with the means of a practical example. A technical realization was done by integration of image processing techniques for the trajectory calculation of all found darts, controlling strategies for an exact positioning of the dartboard.
