Programming a parallel computer for robot vision
EISCAT Scientific Association, S 98101 Kiruna, Sweden
Work at Edinburgh has directed itself towards the automatic recognition and inspection of objects in an industrial environment using a television camera. A particular need for such systems arises in the context of numerically controlled machine tools. FORTRAN emulators of the CLIP array processor have enabled preliminary tests to be made of a parallel approach to removing noise and extracting primitive features from digitised pictures.
Received July 1977.
