An automated inspection system with biologically inspired vision

The ability to combine vision and behavior has proven to be vital for a system to achieve real-time performance on a variety of tasks. Using biological evidence, it has been shown that such systems must have oculomotion, attention and spatio-temporal reasoning capabilities. The paper describes BUVIS an automated visual inspection system-which is designed to have these capabilities-and selective perceptual processing thus achieved can result in real-time behavior in visual inspection of manufactured parts.
