High-speed vision systems and projectors for real-time perception of the world

Abstract

This paper presents a brief overview of high-speed vision systems that enable real-time image acquisition and visual processing at frame rates of several hundreds to thousands of frames per second, which are substantially higher than the standard video rates. High-speed vision systems enable fast measurement and control of dynamic systems, and have been successfully applied in the fields such as robotics, in which real-time perception of dynamic environment is critically important. This paper also presents recent effort to extend the concept of the high-speed vision to projector-camera systems, enabling fast 3D measurement, 3D feature tracking, virtual haptization of 3D objects and enhanced video projection.
