Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is twofold: we first present a novel architecture for real-time active vision systems, and then enhance the architecture with a unified approach to fault tolerance. Our system is designed modularly in order to enable the flexible addition of hardware and software redundancy and also to allow reconfiguration when and where needed. This gives us the ability to handle faults in the context of active vision
