An intelligent 3-D vision sensor is under development in the authors' laboratory for applications in robot guidance and autonomous vehicle control. The aim in this context is to compute a depth map from two images (512×512×8 bits) in less than 0.1 seconds. The state of the field indicates the necessity for the development of new, fast, auto-adaptive operators to segment images meeting two constraints: short computational times, and automatic primitive extraction. For this reason the authors have introduced a new operator to segment image-lines: a morphological gradient with moving kernel dimension. This operator is described
