| Abstract | |
The motion vectors calculation is used in many processes in the area of computer vision. Problems such as establishing collision routes and the movement of the camera (egomotion) use this vectors as input for complexes algorithms that require many computational and energy resources. The optical flow is an approximation of the field generated by the motion vectors. However, for mobile, low power consumption applications becomes infeasible to use general-purpose computers. An embedded system is defined as a computer designed with a specific purpose related to the application in which it is inserted. The main objective of this work is to implement a hardware and software co-design to assist the optical flow field calculation using the CycloneII and Stratix IV FPGAs. Sad that, it is easily to see that the implementation of a project to help the detection and measurement of the movement can be the base to the development of others applications like tracking, video compression and collision detection (AU) | |
