Abstract
A cloud computing system is configured to (i) receive image and environmental data from a computing device, (ii) apply a plurality of image processing algorithms to the received image a plurality of times to generate a corresponding plurality of image processing results, where each application of an image processing algorithm to the received image is executed with a different corresponding parameter set, and (iii) based on the image processing results, select an image processing algorithm and corresponding parameter set for the computing device to use for image processing operations. The cloud computing device may also correlate the results of its analysis with the environmental data received from the computing device, and store the correlation in a machine vision knowledge base for future reference. In some embodiments, the computing device is a component of a robot.
