This paper presents the design and VLSI implementation of a new color space converter chip which performs the conversion, in real-time, of the X, Y and Z color coordinates to the CIE L*u*v* perceptually uniform color space. The high speed of operation is achieved by pipelining the data in a vector fashion. The module is implemented using a DLM, 0.7

The design and VLSI implementation of a new ASIC which performs the operation of grey-scale dilation using both image and structuring element threshold decomposition is presented in this paper. The minimum rate of external operations of this ASIC is 30 MPix/sec and it can handle 3 × 3 pixel images and structuring elements of up to 4-bit resolution. The high

We investigate a method to obtain accurate 3D measurements and we compare it with a standard photogrammetry method. The method utilizes a closed-loop to bring the point under measure in the middle of the two images of a stereo pair. It uses poor calibrated cameras and the accuracy of the measurements relies on the high resolution of the stereo head encoders and on its calibration as well. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method is more accurate than the standard photogrammetry method, as well as ...
