Abstract

The requirements of a computer vision system in relation to industrial applications are studied. It is concluded that for the iconic image-processing part, a pipeline system built around a custom integrated circuit is preferred. This custom integrated circuit makes it possible to realize four basic operations in a compact way: shape recognition, mask generation, programmable image delay, and subsample filtering. An example that has been processed by a hardware realization of such a pipeline system is provided.
