Development of an Embedded Industrial Vision System

A kind of remote vision system based on embedded technology was designed, which can transmit the picture data on Ethernet, being free from the distance restrict, needless repeated wiring and not easily be interfered by other parts of computer system. The software and hardware design of vision system consisting of CMOS image sensors, ARM microprocessor and embedded OS are introduced. Modularizations of hardware compatible to the standard I²C bus, detailed instruction of embedded processor and image sensor, and realization of application programs are emphasized. Further, this paper focused on discussing the design of hardware part including high-speed ARM S3C4510B processor, image sensor module and image buffering control module. Driver of uClinux, image collecting, image compressing, network communication program are also analyzed. Finally, it used electronic design automatic software to simulate two system processes in order to verify the design. A testing board is built and fundamental experiments are operated, which indicate that this design has great performance in industrial application
