In modern tokamaks visible and infrared video cameras are becoming more and more important to monitor plasma evolution during fusion experiments. Analyzing these images in real-time can provide relevant information for controlling the plasma and the safety of the machines. The real-time image processing capability of Cellular Nonlinear Network based chip has been applied to several tasks both at the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade andl the Joint European Torus.
