Hardware Assisted Video Tracking

چکیده
We describe an implementation of video tracking using FPGA hardware and embedded software to track a target in real-time from a 640x480 @ 60 Hz video stream with less than 17 ms latency. The implementation runs primarily on the FPGA using a soft core CPU to support embedded software execution and a custom IP core to acquire and update video stream pixel data. This embedded implementation performs tracking 60 times faster than the same tracking algorithm run on a workstation.

We present a dedicated video-based monitoring system for quantification of patient’s attention to visual feedback during robot assisted gait rehabilitation. Two different approaches for eye gaze and head pose tracking are tested and compared. Several metrics for assessment of patient’s attention are also presented. Experimental results with healthy volunteers demonstrate that unobtrusive video-...
متن کاملPedestrians Tracking in a Camera Network
With the increase of the number of cameras installed across a video surveillance network, the ability of security staffs to attentively scan all the video feeds actually decreases. Therefore, the need for an intelligent system that operates as a tracking system is vital for security personnel to do their jobs well. Tracking people as they move through a camera network with non-overlapping field...
متن کاملRobust 3D Visual Tracking for Robotic-Assisted Cardiac Interventions
In the context of minimally invasive cardiac surgery, active vision-based motion compensation schemes have been proposed for mitigating problems related to physiological motion. However, robust and accurate visual tracking is a difficult task. The purpose of this paper is to present a hybrid tracker that estimates the heart surface deformation using the outputs of multiple visual tracking techn...
