A high speed robot vision system with GigE vision extension

摘要

High speed image and video processing is becoming increasingly important in many applications, especially in robotics. To boost the computing speed of traditional robot vision system, a FPGA and DSP based robot vision system is developed. Considering about the high throughput image acquisition is the premise of high speed processing, a GigE vision interface is also extended. The configuration and some important characteristics of this robot vision system, which can not only capture images rapidly but can also process images using different algorithms in real-time, are described in this paper. Experiment results are also given to show that the newly developed vision system is much faster and more suitable for robot vision applications.
