37 Principles and Applications of Vision Sensor Smart Car Camera System Overview. How Smart car works: Camera captures the image of the runway, and transferred to the microcontroller; MCU which is an embedded controller for image processing, to control the motor voltage output, car head angle etc. according to the control strategy. Encoder emits pulses to the microcontroller by following the running car. MCU records the number of pulses by pulse counting module to calculate the motor speed, and adjust the speed; Slide 37

38 Principles and Applications of Vision Sensor Resource allocation in microcontroller chip. The car function module Signal type Corresponding MCU module Transmission direction * Image acquisition CCD (for example) Analog (image info) Digital (interrupt signal) AD, ECT input capture (or INT interrupt) Input Optical encoder Digital (pulse) ECT pulse accumulate PA Input Servo Digital(PWM) PWM module Output Motor driver module Bluetooth serial Comm. module Digital(PWM) PWM module Output Digital SCI module Input and output * Transfer direction refers to MCU

39 Principles and Applications of Vision Sensor Camera and image processing Selection of camera Classification according photosensitive device unit, there are two types of cameras: CCD and CMOS, both compared as follows: CCD CMOS Sensitivity High Low Cost High Low Resolution High Low Noise ratio Low High Power dissipation High Low High sensitivity determines the image dynamic, high-resolution determines the forward distance. Therefore CCD camera is a better choice.
