Abstract

With the increasing interest in computer vision for interactive
systems, the challenges of the development process
involving many researchers are becoming more prominent.
Issues like reuse of algorithms, modularity, and distributed
processing are getting more important in the endeavor of
building complex vision systems. We present a framework
that allows independent development of enclosed components
and supports interactive optimization of algorithmic
parameters in an online fashion. The communication between
components is performed nearly without any slow
down compared to a monolithic system. Through the modular
concept, all components can be flexibly distributed and
reused in other application domains. The suitability of the
approach is demonstrated with an example system.
