Few pixels -- clear sight

Published in issue 405, September 2010

Vision System for Small Microcontrollers
The originality of the vision system described in this article lies in the method developed for acquiring video images — a method that is entirely compatible with the low calculating power of the microcontroller used and the slow sampling speed offered by its built-in analogue/digital converter.

* 18 × 16 pixel B&W video image
* 4 grey levels
* LED illumination
* Relay control
