Abstract :
This paper presents our results in using ART, a real-time extension for Linux, in the context of a visual attention model implementation using log-polar images. ART allows periodic computing in the user space, suitable for frame-rate image processing, and motor control at 200 Hz. Integrated with PredN (parallel real-time event and data-driven network), a development tool for complex robotic applications, it provides a low cost and user-friendly environment to realize distributed image processing in real-time
