When the dynamics are not too fast, real-time image capture and analysis is easily performed on a personal computer Gerin et al. [207] have monitored the adhesion of Phanerochaete chrysosporium spores with a capture rate of one image/4 min. Bailleul and Schleunders [208] describe a method to reconstruct in real time the trajectories of moving cells, by logical addition in the frame... 

Timelapse imajyinjy system. A computer connected to the camera to record timelapse images. We use image capture and analysis sofiware MetaMorph. 

A TSI Model 610030 Synchronizer was used as an external controller for the laser and the image capture camera. This computer-controlled synchronizer provides the timing and sequencing of events for PIV measurements. The most important parameter controlled by the synchronizer is the time separation between the two laser pulses. The time separation was adjusted from 2ms for exit velocities of 0.39 m/s down to lOOpsec for exit velocities of 7.62 m/s. 

Fig. 10.20. The atomic force microscope. X,Y,Z axe the piezoelectric sensors to control the motion of the probe over the sample in XYZ directions. Force sensor is to measure the force between the probe and the sample. (CPU) Computer - The computer is used for setting the scanning parameters such as scan size, scan speed, feedback control response, and visualizing images captured with the microscope...

Figure 2.19. Procedures for automated counting of finepartides using images captured by a computer may make use of erosion/dilation logic in order to separate then count and size individual finepartides. a) Basic principles of erosion and dilation of a digitized image, b) Erosion logic was originally developed to separate adjacent profiles in a field of view for automated counting.

Capture. Image capture uses either a digital video system, or an analog CCD camera, fed into a computer with an image captnre card. 

The hardware of the artificial vision system consists of an analog camera, a digitizer card, and a computer to process all the images captured from workspace. From the images, the information about the actual position of the mobile robot and the obstacles are obtained. The trajectory defined by the path planning method must be recalculated depending, for instance, on whether the mobile obstacle stops its execution. In the workspace, the stationary objects were identified with a blue color and the mobile obstacles with yellow.
