Abstract :
An important factor of system performance for computer vision applications such as optical tracking systems or industrial inspection systems is the frame rate. Frame rate measurement requires access to either the application software or hardware. In order to be independent of different standards used by the application under test a non-intrusive method for frame rate measurement is proposed. The system consists of a hardware pattern generator which can be used `stand-alone´ as well as in combination with signal processing software to estimate the frame rate of a given application
