The paper reports development of an FPGA-based control for a range-gated imaging system where real-time image and video processing is desired. The imaging system uses a pulsed laser for illumination and a gated camera for capturing images at desired distances. We demonstrate that FPGA can control the most important functions of the system, i.e. timing and synchronization of gating. In addition,...

Two common problems we face in implementing recon gurable systems on currently available FPGA chips are: (1) tting designs which are too big for available hardware resources on a single FPGA chip, (2) lack of synthesis tools for high-level speci cations. One solution to address the rst problem is partial recon guration or run-time recon guration which requires only loading a portion of the desi...

This study reports design an active radar calibrator (ARC) that produces equal spacing point target responses that serve as control points for both geometric and radiometric calibrations. The delay is digitally controlled implemented by FPGA. Specification and performance of the digital ARC were tested on C-band ERS-2 SAR image. From the experimental results, the FPGA circuit can produce one to...

In this paper, a FPGA based system for real-time video processing is proposed. In this system, real-time video was obtained though a digital camera and video/image processing algorithms were implemented on FPGA hardware. The original image frames and processed video can be displayed simultaneously on the screen of a PC, acting as a system monitor. It is a flexible and easily implemented system,...

Present Traffic Light Controller (TLC) is based on microcontroller and microprocessor. These TLC have limitations because it uses the pre-defined hardware, which is functioning according to the program that does not have the flexibility of modification on real time basis. Due to the fixed time intervals of green, orange and red signals the waiting time is more and car uses more fuel. FPGA has m...

The increasing integration density according to Moore's law is being slowed due to economic and physical limits. However, this technological evolution involves an higher number of physical defects after manufacturing circuit. As yield goes down, one of the future challenges is to nd a way to use a maximum of fabricated circuits while tolerating physical defects spread all over the chip. Fiel Pr...

Advances in FPGA technology have dramatically increased the use of FPGAs for computer vision applications. The primary task for development of such FPGAs based systems is the interfacing of the analog camera with FPGA board. This paper describes the design and implementation of camera interface module required for connecting analog camera with Xilinx ML510 (Virtex–5 FXT) FPGA board having no vi...

We show how the limited electrical power and FPGA compute resources available in a swarm of small UAVs can be shared by moving FPGA tasks from one UAV to another. A software and hardware infrastructure that supports the mobility of embedded FPGA applications on a single FPGA chip and across a group of networked FPGA chips is an integral part of the work described here. It is shown how to alloca...
