Synchronous Image Acquisition Based on Network Synchronization

Abstract

In this paper, a software-based system for the real-time synchronization of images captured by a low-cost camera framework is presented. It is most well suited for cases where special hardware cannot be utilized (e.g. remote or wireless applications) and when cost efficiency is critical. The proposed method utilizes messages to establish a consensus on the time of image acquisition and NTP synchronization of computer clocks. It also provides with an error signal, in case of failure of the synchronization. The evaluation of the proposed algorithm using a precise LED array system (1ms accuracy) proves the effectiveness of this method.
