Abstract
This paper describes a portable, rapidly deployed, system to to locate a ball used in a robotic soccer competition. The system consists of 4 Nikon S800C cameras running a computer vision application and a centralized server running Linux. Each of the cameras calculates an angle from the center-line of the image to the ball and forwards this information to the server. The centralized server updates the ball position based on the angle information received and the known position of the cameras.
