Abstract

The author describes an image processing/machine vision that was developed specifically for educational use. Most systems used in educational settings were not designed specifically for such use. In many cases, most of a student´s laboratory time is spent learning the particular system in use, rather than the complexities of the assigned algorithm. The IBM PC based system described here, which consists of an adapter card for the PC, a standard black-and-white video camera and monitor, and a collection of image processing algorithms, eliminates this problem. The major advantages of the system described are its low cost and extremely simple programming interface. Both the hardware design of the adapter card and the software interface are described
