FPGA Implementation of an Optic Flow Sensor using the Image Interpolation Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
A small embedded vision sensor has been developed using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) technology. The sensor computes optic flow using a streaming version of the image interpolation algorithm to provide flow vectors at 36 equally spaced locations in a 1024×768 pixel image. The sensor has been tested in flight on an unmanned helicopter and benchmarked against GPS measurements of velocity. A small form factor (70mm×55mm) and lowweight for the sensor makes it ideal for implementation on a small flight vehicle.

Implementation of VlSI Based Image Compression Approach on Reconfigurable Computing System - A Survey
Image data require huge amounts of disk space and large bandwidths for transmission. Hence, imagecompression is necessary to reduce the amount of data required to represent a digital image. Thereforean efficient technique for image compression is highly pushed to demand. Although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...

متن کاملVision-based terrain following for an unmanned rotorcraft
Experiments from biology suggest that the sensing of image motion or optic flow in insects provides a means of determining the range to obstacles and terrain. When combined with a measure of ground speed from another sensor such as GPS, optic flow can be used to provide a measure of an aircraft’s height above terrain. We apply this principle to the control of height in a helicopter, leading to ...
متن کامل2-D Motion extraction using an image interpolation technique
A new approach to optic flow calculation based on a well known image interpolation technique is presented. In this approach, the minimisation of the squared differences between a second order Taylor expansion of pixel values in an image patch, and its associated pixel values in the next image is used to calculate the optic flow for four degrees of freedom. As a result, two translations, a rotat...
متن کاملMorphological Exudate Detection in Retinal Images using PCA-based Optic Disc Removal
Diabetic retinopathy lesion detection such as exudate in fundus image of retina can lead to early diagnosis of the disease. Retinal image includes dark areas such as main blood vessels and retinal tissue and also bright areas such as optic disk, optical fibers and lesions e.g. exudate. In this paper, a multistage algorithm for the detection of exudate in foreground is proposed. The algorithm se...
