Abstract :
This paper describes the high-speed vision system and the novel image processing algorithm developed for seam tracking applications. This system was used in the gantry robot constructed in Liverpool University for high-speed edge trimming of fabric embroideries. Parallelism between image grabbing, image processing and communication with PC for enhancing the performance of the vision system is also described. The speed and the accuracy of the seam-tracking algorithm are compared with the conventional geometric approach
