To give the recognition capability of task objects by computer vision to a sensor-based robot system, an image digitizer and some basic software techniques were developed and repofted here. The image digitizer was developed with the CROMEMCO SYSTEM III microcomputer anti C.C.T.V. camera to convert the analog valued scene into digitized image which could be pro-cessed by a digital computer. Basic software techniques for the computer vision system were aimed at the recognition of 3-dimensional objects. Experiments with these techniques were carried out using the image of a cubicle which could be considered as typical simple 3-dimensional object.
