One primitive agent is responsible for the image acquisition, managing a SunVideo system designed for
image acquisition and video compression in real time. The SunVideo consists of a Sun SBus board for
SPARCstations with on-board video compression engine and the XIL Imaging Library, and is used for multimedia
applications and video conferences.

Computer
Vision
Images: The first is the image of the workspace captured with a SunVideo
Board; the second is its blob colouring segmentation; the last one present
each recognized object in the image in a different color. The input image
is simple because was the first test done with the system.
