The VE 379 Saccade Camera is a leading edge machine vision system for high speed, high resolution inspection and surveillance tasks. The VE 379 incorporates an advanced saccade camera and a high performance image processing system to emulate the human vision system. The human eye uses peripheral vision as an attention mechanism to locate areas of interest. Saccadic eye movements then direct the high resolution foveal vision segment of the eye to those areas of interest. In a similar manner, the VE 379 saccade camera acquires wide field of view color images at normal video camera resolution (640 x 480), and narrow field of view images of areas of interest at up to 40 times the resolution of the original image. System manager software, VE Manager, coordinates the attention and saccade functions of the camera, image interpretation agents, and other system functions to provide high speed image processing with selective image resolution of up to 20,000 x 20,000 pixels (or 2.5 cycles/mrad over a 1 radian field of view). The VE 379 image processing system, based on an Intel computer and an advanced multiprocessoor DSP (TMS320C80) image processing board, provides the computing power required for complex image interpretation tasks involving variable background, color, and morphology. The VE 379 can be delivered as a standard development unit with operating system, VE Manager (system manager) software, and Perceptools, a callable library of basic image processing functions plus a collection of high level functions (e.g. pattern recognition, object classification, etc.) The standard development unit includes several sample agents which provide simple demonstrations of the system's capacity. The system can also be delivered (optional) with custom software 'agents' capable of image interpretation, decision making functions, and user defined I/O functions. Custom agents are available for inspection and identification tasks that involve variable morphology in variable or cluttered backgrounds. For industrial inspection applications VE TECH can supply
custom software agents which utilize the VE 379's imaging and processing capacity to
examine the camera field of view, locate and examine targets (of user defined interest),
make decisions about perceived targets, and issue external reports or instructions (user
defined) on the basis of target identity decisions. The system is robustly packaged with
separate camera and computing modules. Custom OEM configurations can be delivered. |
