Abstract
This paper presents a color segmentation algorithm for embedded real-time systems with a special focus on latencies. The algorithm is part of a Hardware-Software-System that realizes fast reactions on visual stimuli in highly dynamic environments. There is furthermore the constraint to use low-cost hardware to build the system. Our system is implemented on a RoboCup middle size league prototype robot.
