Abstract

In this paper we describe a functioning low cost embedded vision system which can perform basic color blob tracking at 16.7 frames per second. This system utilizes a low cost CMOS color camera module and all image data is processed by a high speed, low cost microcontroller. This eliminates the need for a separate frame grabber and high speed host computer typically found in traditional vision systems. The resulting embedded system makes it possible to utilize simple color vision algorithms in applications like small mobile robotics where a traditional vision system would not be practical.
