INTELLIGENT VISION SYSTEMS FOR ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS
Andreas Maeder, Hannes Bistry, Jianwei Zhang · International Journal of Information Acquisition · 2008
Vision-based sensors are a key component for robot-systems, where many tasks depend on image data. Realtime control constraints bind a lot of processing power for only a single sensor modality. Dedicated and distributed processing resources are the "natural" solution to overcome this limitation. This paper presents experiments, using embedded processors as well as dedicated hardware, to execute various image (pre)processing tasks. Architectural concepts and requirements for intelligent vision systems have been acquired.
