N2 - To acquire images of a scene from multiple points of view simultaneously, the acquisition time of vision sensors should be synchronized. In this paper, an illumination-based synchronization technique derived from the phase-locked loop algorithm is proposed. Both Simulation results and experimental results show that the operation of vision sensor can be successfully locked to the corresponding edges of an intensitymodulated LED illumination signal in real time, as long as the feedback gain is empirically chosen with the help of MATLAB simulation.
