摘要：A dynamic environment (e.g., an automated industrial process) has multiple
conditions in response to which corresponding actions are required, and comprisesvarious equipment, control device(s) to control the equipment, and one or more sensorsto generate input signal(s) representing a monitored condition of the environment. Acontrol system for the environment comprises a master processor and one or more co-processors, wherein the master processor configures a given co-processor to evaluateonly a first subset of conditions expected to occur in the environment within a specifiedtime period (e.g., less than a response time of the master processor), and to provide firstcontrol information representing an action to be taken if a particular condition of the firstsubset is satisfied. The co-processor receives the input signal(s) representing themonitored condition, processes the input signal(s) so as to determine if the particularcondition of the first subset is satisfied, and provides the first control information to thecontrol devices so as to control the equipment. Exemplary applications include dynamicenvironments in which machine vision techniques and/or equipment are employed.
