Abstract

The expectations and demands for real-time performance for processing of visual information usually overloaded contemporary computer systems at all times. Increasing hardware performance enabled the use of more complex analysis and vice versa. For a long time, this led to a mutual fertilization of electronics and computer programs or architectures and algorithms with coherent data structures. Appropriate tool sets marked corner stones and boosted some significant developments. However, up to now one got always the impression that the requirements were always heading the possible performance and the open question becoming more serious is: where will it end? This paper provides a short rush through four decades of real-time image processing with a conclusion for an outlook into future opportunities and current developments providing guidelines to host corresponding research results by this conference in the coming years. New concepts, programming paradigms and production technologies are paving the way for future image processing solutions providing real-time capabilities.
