Abstract
The construction of a parallel vision system from Standard ML prototypes is presented. The system recognises 3D objects from 2D scenes through edge detection, grouping of edges into straight lines and line junction based model matching. Functional prototyping for parallelism is illustrated through the development of the straight line detection component. The assemblage of the whole system from prototyped components is then considered and its performance is discussed. 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview We have been investigating the use of functional prototyping in the development of parallel systems. In this paper we discuss the construction of a simple but complete parallel vision system which will recognise 3D objects from 2D intensity images. The system was prototyped in a pure functional subset of Standard ML and implemented in Occam2 on a Meiko Computing Surface. An important objective of this work is to give us experience in building a large scale project from discrete modules. In par...
