A PC-based multiprocessor robot vision system

A robot vision system was designed, built, and tested in real-world applications (guidance of a mobile robot and tracking of colored objects). It consists of a commercial frame grabber and a number of processing elements using the Intel 80960CA RISC processor as CPU, each of them realized as a plug-in card for a standard PC. The underlying system concepts and some implementation details are described. Performance data collected in real-time applications are also reported.<
