Abstract :
Real-time image processing has been achieved by using an optical scanning system in conjunction with electronic hardware. A report of experimental results on edge extraction and image thresholding for transmissive objects is presented. Advantages and limitations of the techniques are identified. The results indicate that real-time edge extraction and image thresholding can be satisfactorily achieved
