    abstract = {Current commercial and freely available grabbing libraries are tightly coupled to operating systems
                and/or imaging hardware. Moreover, they usually do not support any kind of distributed
                camera-systems. This forces developers to either reimplement significant parts of the application or
                to come up with elaborate abstraction for the grabbing, should the underlying operating system,
                hardware (e.g. changing from analog PAL sources to IIDC cameras) or distribution model (e.g. adding
                remote intelligent cameras, which are capable of image processing themselves) change. In this paper
                we describe 'libugrab', a versatile grabbing library designed to provide a flexible abstraction of
                the grabbing process. The main advantages of 'libugrab' over similar libraries are the following:
                open source license, cross-platform availability, network transparency, support for both push and
                pull grabbing models, built-in support for image-processing via callbacks. The design especially
                facilitates rapid prototyping of distributed vision systems, which we demonstrate by several
                examples.},
