A flexible semi-automatic program generator for dynamic vision systems

Abstract

A program generator that facilitates the development of programs for low- and intermediate-level dynamic vision is described. It accepts inputs from the user in a two-dimensional graphic way and converts these into an extremely efficient executable code for both a conventional microprocessor and a special pipeline processor designed for dynamic vision. Programs produced by this system have been used in robot vision, including the guidance of a fast autonomous road vehicle.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
