Hardware Implementation of Automated Sensor Self-validation
نویسنده
چکیده
Custom computing machines have demonstrated their superiority over general-purpose processors in computation-intense applications. In this paper, we investigate the use of an FPGA system to implement an automated sensor self-validation algorithm for cupola furnaces. The system was implemented on two different families of FPGA boards. Details of the software algorithm and the FPGA hardware implementations are presented.

Implementation of a Low- Cost Multi- IMU by Using Information Form of a Steady State Kalman Filter
In this paper, a homogenous multi-sensor fusion method is used to estimate the trueangular rate and acceleration with a combination of four low cost (< 10$) MEMS Inertial MeasurementUnits (IMU). An information form of steady state Kalman filter is designed to fuse the output of four lowaccuracy sensors to reduce the noise effect by the square root of the number of sensors. A hardware isimplemen...
متن کاملNew approach for sensor simulation for Hardware In the Loop test systems
Automatic test systems can evaluate the functionality of measurement and/or control hardware by simulating real world signals and verifying the expected response. Simulation takes the dynamics of real-world environments and models them using software to test the performance of critical system hardware components. Sensor simulation is the process of providing realistic sensor signals to the inpu...

متن کاملOn Efficient Design of LDPC Decoders for Wireless Sensor Networks
Low density parity check (LDPC) codes are error-correcting codes that offer huge advantages in terms of coding gain, throughput and power dissipation in digital communication systems. Error correction algorithms are often implemented in hardware for fast processing to meet the real-time needs of communication systems. However,traditional hardware implementation of LDPC decoders require large am...
