A Remote Laboratory for Real-Time Digital Image Processing on Embedded Systems

The purpose of this paper is to present a Remote Laboratory on embedded systems focused in real-time digital image processing. This laboratory consists of a Main Web Server and several Workstations which are designed for digital image retrieval from a CMOS Image Sensor and real-time image processing on a Digital Signal Processor development platform. The Main Web Server redirects the authorised remote users to available Workstations in order to execute and verify their image processing algorithms or test their system designs using a developed Application Programming Interface. Through user-friendly web pages users can interfere with the hardware parameters and observe the results of their solutions.
