Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the design of a remote controlled DSP based real-time image processing system, equipped with a high resolution CMOS image sensor. This system is implemented utilizing the R-DImPr API and supports a two axes motion of the image sensor based on two stepper motors. The remote control of the system is achieved through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) via Internet or Ethernet. The user is able to configure some parameters of the image sensor such as gain and exposure time. The GUI allows the control of the stepper motors in order to adjust the position of the image sensor and the selection of the desired image processing algorithm. The proposed system can be used as a base of embedded surveillance or machine vision systems because of its open and flexible structure which allows the integration of advanced image processing algorithms.
