Control of Heterogeneous Communication Networks in Machine Vision System

Machine vision systems typically encompass various cameras and sensors, which exhibit significant differences in terms of quantity, communication interfaces, communication protocols, and real-time requirements. To achieve real-time information exchange among all sensors, this paper proposes a heterogeneous communication network control method suitable for machine vision systems. The method is based on the embedded system's multitasking scheduling and management mechanisms to establish the heterogeneous communication network control scheme. Experimental results indicate that the heterogeneous communication network applied to machine vision systems demonstrates stability, reliability, and rapid responsiveness, effectively meeting the operational needs of the system.
