Abstract :
In industrial applications, visual feedback control has been attracting much attention. However, a custom-made high-speed image processing system is expensive in general. Since the use of multimedia devices for PCs is getting common in recent years, the possibility for inexpensive visual feedback is increasing. Thus we explore here the feasibility of the visual feedback control with an off-the-shelf Web camera.
