A software laboratory for visual inspection and recognition

Abstract We present the design criteria and the basic structure of GYPSY, a software laboratory for visual inspection and recognition in industrial automation tasks. GYPSY analyzes images of objects on the basis of their two-dimensional shape. It is fully portable and easily programmable. The user can write application programs in a Pascal-like language to give the system the ability to take over various tasks. GYPSY has been developed for a multi-microprocessor architecture designed in Italy especially for industrial automation.
