• abstract: In prior work we have investigated the implementation options for several real time image processing applications by a compact, low-power system based on a high dynamic range CMOS image sensor with integrated preprocessing and a digital post-processor. We investigated the tasks of overtake monitoring, eye tracking as well as visual quality inspection, e.g., on-line width measurement. We have implemented a CMOS linear sensor based on these experiences. First samples are now available for measurement. In this paper, we present the first application results achieved with our vision chip in our laboratory. In the following step, an integration with a standard microcontroller or DSP board in the camera body is envisioned to achieve an application-specific intelligent camera.
