Abstract :
Considering about to solve the bottleneck problem of computing ability and power consumption of mobile robot vision system, a DSP and FPGA based intelligent image grabber and a robot vision system using this intelligent image grabber are developed. The configuration and some important characteristics of this robot vision system, which can not only complete the work of image capturing but can also process images using different algorithms in real-time, are described in this paper. It has been shown by experiments and performance comparison that this newly developed robot vision system is more suitable for mobile robots than the traditional PC based robot vision system.
