Distributed smart cameras for hard real-time control
Herwig Guggi, Bernhard Rinner · 2010
This paper describes an approach for integrating cognition, real-time communication and control. Our test setup is a crane system whose area of operation is observed by distributed smart cameras analyzing the crane's environment. The position and motion information of all detected objects are transferred to the crane controller via a real-time network. With this information the controller can optimize the trajectory of the load. We present preliminary results of a single camera setting and give an outlook for the multi camera data fusion process.
