Foveal sensors can substantially increase the performance of active vision systems because of their ability to handle wide field of view and simultaneously reduce the data/bandwidth with space variant sensing. To process the multiresolution images and associated data structures, a new hierarchical processing has been applied to minimize data communications and retrieval. In this article, we present a hardware platform that implements a level sequential segmentation algorithm in one of these hierarchical structures based on a Cartesian lattice topology. The platform operates in real time, at speeds in the range of 25 to 85 frames/s, using a digital uniform-resolution camera as the source to generate and process the multiresolution images.
