What is GRIP?

GRIP (the Graphically Represented Image Processing engine) is a program for rapidly prototyping and deploying computer vision algorithms, primarily for robotics applications. It is currently in a very early state of development.

Why GRIP?

Teams participating the FIRST Robotics Competition are often presented with challenges requiring the use of computer vision for extra points. To aid in this, students participating in FIRST are given access to industry‐grade computer vision toolkits, such as OpenCV and the NI Vision software. However, the six‐week build season required by FIRST makes it hard for teams to invest time in learning new programming languages and SDKs, or experiment with algorithms and parameters.

GRIP is our attempt to solve this problem by providing software for computer vision that is easy to learn, experiment with, and deploy!
