Abstract

We have developed a video rate color image processing system "Color-IDATEN" that can process time-varying color images at video rate. In this paper, we present the system configuration, the new processing modules, and the experimental results. The system consists of a host CPU, a network unit, and three monochrome image processing units (IPUs) with three new processing modules: dynamic masking, color processing, and feature extraction. These modules are controlled by the host CPU and can process each pixel of images from the network in 100 ns. The results from the experiments with the time-varying color images showed that Color-IDATEN effectively erased and extracted moving objects and particular colored areas.
