Real-time detection and tracking of a moving object using a complex programmable logic device

摘要

This paper presents the design of an active surveillance system consisting of an intelligent controller and two video cameras (one with a fixed wide field of view and the other with a narrow moveable field of view). The controller, which is implemented within a single Altera FLEX 10 K device, combines the functions of image capture and display, motion detection, background image update and control of the moveable camera. Correct functionality of the controller chip has been verified by simulation.
