Video Image Analysis Using the Selective Video Processor Development Platform

摘要

The intent of the Selective Video Processor (SVP) project is to develop a flexible system which can interpret a video image by analyzing the color or gray scale variations between image sequences. The concepts on which the SVP system are based have potential applications in a variety of areas including motion detection, battlefield surveillance, road following, edge detection, and object detection. A prototype development platform has been completed which includes a SVP hardware module, and a graphics user interface module. The SVP platform enables a variety of applications to be developed and tested in a high level environment. Once an application has been perfected on the development platform, specialized hardware and software can be implemented to create a fieldable version of the application. Fieldable units are expected to have the advantages of small space requirements, low costs, low power dissipations, and real time operating speeds. An intrusion detection application has been developed on the platform to demonstrate the usefulness of the SVP system. This report describes the prototype development platform, the intrusion detection application and future directions for the SVP project. 18 refs., 18 figs., 3 tab.
