Real Time Image Processing Architecture for Robot Vision

چکیده
This paper presents a study of the impact of MMX technology and PIII Streaming SIMD (Single Instruction stream, Multiple Data stream) Extensions in image processing and machine vision application, which, because of their hard real time constrains, is an undoubtedly challenging task. A comparison with a traditional scalar code and with another parallel SIMD architecture (IMAP-VISION board) is discussed with emphasize of the particular programming strategies for speed optimization. More precisely we discuss the low level and intermediate level image processing algorithms, which are best suited for parallel SIMD implementation. High-level image processing algorithms are more suitable for parallel implementation on MIMD architectures. While the IMAP-Vision system performs better because of the large number of processing elements, the MMX processor and PIII (with Streaming SIMD Extensions) remains a good candidate for low-level image processing.

Autoguided vehicles and mobile robots have to deal in real time with visual motion information for visual feedback, collision avoidance, time-to-contact computation, and 3-D navigation. Unfortunately, the spatiotemporal data flow is too large for traditional Camera and CPU systems due to the great amount of low level processing to be done. A proven alternative is the design of computational vis...
