Objective Develop a stereovision system capable of extracting range data at > 200 fps and tracking objects - state of the art for stereovision extraction ~ 30 fps Motivation: Autonomous Satellite Grasping Benefits: Increasing the speed of tracking will: 1. Allow us to track faster moving objects 2. Allow us to track slower moving objects more reliably 3. High frame rate stereovision and tracking will enable other applications FastTrack
Fast Track: Satellite Grasping • Automatic image recognition and docking system • Ultra-fast (200 fps) stereo video acquisition • Real-Time Video-Stream processing on the FPGA based platform FastTrack
