- RGB & HSV is a linear combination and look for routines to implement matrix multiplication.
- Consider buying colored plastic wrap to test different variations with colors.
- Find shapes first then color.
- Implement functions that calculate distances from objects for firing of torpedo's.
- Size ranging.
- Geometry for camera (pinhole).

- Consider adding light for better colors instead of ambient lighting.
- Low pass filter will be high energy that can be used to compare colors.
- Take the Fourier Transform and use energy values with highest values.
- Calculate energy which is the sum of the squares of the output data.
- Implement the PID.
- Pitch, yaw, needs to be 0 for navigation.
