Recently embedded technology has been widely applied to machine vision and embedded vision systems are more and more popular. This paper reviews the advances on embedded vision systems, and then compares and analyzes their frameworks in processing ability, cost and performance. A discussion is provided for some unsolved problems for embedded vision systems. Finally, the future of embedded vision system is outlined.
