Abstract
Today we see an increasing number of time dependent visual computer systems, ranging from interactive video installations, via high definition teleconferencing to the high performance computer vision disciplines for example in industry and robotics. Common for all of these are the requirement for low and predictable delays from the system itself and its components.
In this thesis, we look into the delay of camera-to-display computer systems to understand the properties of their delay components, as well as how the camera and display devices contribute to this delay, in order to find a method to measure the delay components of the system without using external tools.
We have successfully designed and developed a measurement tool that is able to measure the true delays of a camera-to-display computer system from within the system itself, and to help the user understand the delay properties of the system.
