A Hardware Implementation of Chain-coding Algorithm for Industrial Vision Systems

산업용 비젼시스템을 위한 하드웨어 체인코더의 설계

In an industrial vision system, a coding technique for binary image is essential to extract useful informations. To reduce the processing time, a hardware implementation of the chain coding algorithm is attemped. For that purpose, the chain coding algorithm is modified so that it is more suitable for a hardware implementation. A hardwired chain coder is also developed and tested with developed vision system. The result shows that the processing time is greatly reduced and that the developed vision system is maybe feasible for real-time applications.
