Real-Time FPGA Implementation of a Small-Size-Object-Searching Algorithm

摘要

An algorithm for searching for small-size objects against a terrestrial surface background is presented. The combination of flexibility of algorithm updating (programmability) with the high productivity provided by pipelined and parallel calculations became possible due to implementation of a computer on the basis of field programmable gate arrays. Image processing time on a breadboard model is 9 MB, which is ten times less than that on models that use digital signal processors.
