Patent number: 7174224Abstract: A smart camera system provides focused images to an operator at a host computer by processing digital images at the imaging location prior to sending them to the host computer. The smart camera has a resident digital signal processor for preprocessing digital images prior to transmitting the images to the host. The preprocessing includes image feature extraction and filtering, convolution and deconvolution methods, correction of parallax and perspective image error and image compression. Compression of the digital images in the smart camera at the imaging location permits the transmission of very high resolution color or high resolution grayscale images at real-time frame rates such as 30 frames per second over a high speed serial bus to a host computer or to any other node on the network, including any remote address on the Internet.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2004Date of Patent: February 6, 2007Assignee: Adept Technology, Inc.Inventors: Edison T. Hudson, James McCormick, Ronald Genise, Jerome Dahl

Publication number: 20010034557Abstract: A hardware architecture links control modules to a host computer in a high-speed serial bus network to achieve efficient distributed machine control. Each control module includes a communications unit and a function unit that are coupled to each other as a part of the control module. All communications units are similarly constructed with each having a unique identification set by a component thereof and provide communications between control modules and the host computer. The function unit of each control module is distinctly configured for executing functions specific to the particular control module to which it is attached. The high-speed serial bus provides deterministic synchronization of data transfers between control modules and the host computer using either an isochronous mode and protocol or an asynchronous mode with a fixed real-time clock issuing data requests at fixed time intervals. Data transfers do not require host computer involvement and can occur directly between control modules.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2001Publication date: October 25, 2001Inventors: Edison T.
