Abstract

We present an embedded vision sensor to be used for robot soccer in the MiroSot league of the Federation of the International Robotsoccer Association. The vision sensor is based on a DSP/FPGA co-processor system and uses a FireWire-camera. The vision algorithms are specifically designed to optimally utilize the resources of the embedded system. The achieved embedded vision sensor is able to work at full camera framerate (60fps) with full image resolution (640×480 pixels) without the need of any resources of the host computer.
