Prototyping Industrial Vision Applications and Implementations on Multimedia Processors

Abstract:

The article presents a development system for industrial vision applications based on multimedia processors. For simulation of the algorithm and prototyping the application we can use either standard Matlab / Simulink environment or specialized environments such as Open eVision. The system components are presented with examples of application prototyping and implementation on standard platform Digital Video Development Platform DVDP6437 from Spectrum Digital, equipped with Texas Instruments TMS320DM6437. In the presented system we did experiments regarding the Rapid Prototyping concept in industrial vision application, starting from Embedded Target Library components from Matlab / Simulink. The experiments revealed that multimedia processors are usable both in video and still image processing and are possible to be considered an option in standard industrial vision applications: positioning, visual inspection. The paper contains also a brief study of the necessary components of a proposed embedded architecture, intended to be realized for evaluation of the technology in industrial environments.
