Abstract (EN): Abstract: Onboard cameras are the main sensor in many mobile robots applications. High quality cameras require significant computing power to deal with large images. Real Time constraints further emphasize the need for fast and predictable image processing. Taking advantage of some known camera orientation parameters it is possible to reduce the number of interesting pixels by using variable resolution over the image. The actual resolution can be set as a function of presumed feature density. Some results from practical applications are shown and discussed. Copyright © Controlo 2002
