Introduction

Thank you for your interest in EOCV-Sim! (EasyOpenCV Simulator)

This tool was built to help FTC teams learn and develop their seasonal OpenCV algorithms in a straightforward way, with some extra utilities to make that process a little smoother.

The main purpose of this software is to simulate the package and class structure of OpenFTC’s EasyOpenCV and the parts of the FTC SDK relevant to vision, while also providing OpenCV functionality and a simple GUI.

Because the simulated structure mirrors EasyOpenCV’s API, your imports and class names stay the same as they would be on an actual robot. When you’re ready to deploy, you can copy your vision code directly into your Android Studio project without any changes.

While the main focus of this software is the FIRST Tech Challenge competition, it works just as well for general-purpose computer vision projects. We encourage anyone to use it as a learning tool, inside or outside of FTC.

We’re always open to suggestions if you see something that could be added or improved! GitHub Issues are open for suggestions and bug reports.

Buy me a coffee

For the past 4 years I’ve been developing and maintaining learning tools for robotics students to get a better grasp of programming and computer vision. Now that I’ve graduated from the robotics competition and I’m heading to college, my goal is to keep these tools maintained and improving for future generations — completely free and open source. If you’d like to support that, a donation on Buy Me a Coffee goes a long way as life gets busier.
