Development of RT-Middleware for Image Recognition Module

Abstract

We have developed "image recognition device and module" in "development project for a common basis of next-generation robots" that is the consignment business of new energy and industrial technology development organization (NEDO). The purpose of this project is to develop image recognition module that is little hardware-scale, little power-consumption, useful and high-performance. The authors implemented the RT-middleware on embedded processor DSP (digital signal processor) for image recognition module, for improve the development efficiency of component, and to offer the easy-to-use interfaces. In this paper, we introduce our project, concept of RT-middleware, and mechanism of RT-middleware for image recognition module that we have developed
