Seminar: Real Time Vision Applications, Prof Donald Bailey, Massey University

Title:    Real Time Vision Applications
Synopsis:
This seminar will review a diverse range of recent projects in machine vision, robot vision, and computer vision. Applications include real-time asparagus grading, automated pollen classification, an autonomous Trax playing robot, coastal resource monitoring, image super-resolution, robot soccer, a catadioptric stereo camera, and a pipe inspection robot. A common thread through these applications is a need for high speed and high performance processing, often with a constrained power budget. This has spurred research into the use of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for implementing embedded vision algorithms.

Brief Biography:
