The Design of a Range Finder for a Computer Vision System.

Abstract

A computer vision system has been developed at the Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL) which enables a PDP-10 computer to acquire television pictures in digital form. The television camera is mounted on a platform referred to as the pantilt assembly which can be rotated back and forth and tilted up and down. Also on the pan-tilt assembly are a remote controlled zoom lens and a range finder. Everything on the pan-tilt assembly except for the camera is interfaces to a PDP-11/40 minicomputer which can communicate with the PDP-10. (Author)
