Abstract :
The robot vision system presented consists of a PCB with a hardware-reconfigurable image processor, and a PCB with a standard commercial microprocessor. The microprocessor board interfaces with the host robot, configures the hardware of the image processor and runs the high-level image algorithms. Both boards occupy a volume of 10×10×3 cm3 and consume less than 1A
