Heart-rate Monitoring System Design and Analysis Using a Nios II Soft-core Processor

FPGA-Based Clinical Diagnostic System using Pipelined Architectures in the Nios II Soft-Core Processor

Clinical decision making is a complicated process. It is based on medical knowledge derived from medical books and literature and on data obtained from various clinical trials and diagnostic tests; however, it is also dependent on experience, judgment, and reasoning, which are functions of the human brain. In many situations, human decision making is not available, and in these situations, inst...

Nios II Processor-Based Fingerprint Identification System

With the boom of information technology represented by computers since the 1960s, computer technology has begun to be used in the fingerprint identification field, bringing new thoughts, implementation methods, and processing approaches for automated fingerprint identification. Authorities, institutions, and universities have begun implementing fingerprint analysis and processing using computer...

Multimedia Decoder Using the Nios II Processor

Design Introduction Our design target was to build a low-cost, high-performance H.264 decoder with a prototype H.264 decoder created using multiple small FPGAs. H.264 is a computationally complex, advanced video standard for achieving high compression ratios. To cater to the needs of high throughput applications such as HDTV, which requires 216,000 macroblocks/second of throughput, designers us...
