Abstract

In this paper we propose a system architecture which is hard-ware/software reconfigurable, modular, and intended to be a generic approach to partitioning reactive visual algorithms for implementation on high-performance multiprocessing systems integrated in robotic environments. We present a configurable and flexible parallel perception system that provides a platform for developing applications which allows for experimenting with real-time computer-vision algorithms. An automatic target recognition application using our reconfigurable architecture have been implemented successfully. The paper describes how this reactive application is implemented in a pair of boards based on different technology: a reconfigurable board and a general purpose Pentium board.
