EMBEDDED VIDEO PROCESSING FOR DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENT SENSOR NETWORKS
In this paper the theoretical background of specific video processing algorithms is presented as well as the details of their implementation into SENSE nodes of a distributed sensor network devoted to airport surveillance tasks. The video processing algorithms are implemented used embedded DSP boards, based on Blackfin DSP of Analog Devices vision system processing architecture. […]
Using Partial Run Time Reconfigurable Hardware to accelerate Video Processing in Driver Assistance System
In this paper we show a reconfigurable hardware architecture for the acceleration of video-based driver assistance applications in future automotive systems. The concept is based on a separation of pixel-level operations and high level application code. Pixel-level operations are accelerated by coprocessors, whereas high level application code is implemented fully programmable on standard PowerPC CPU […]
RFID-Enabled Dairy Farm-Towards Total Farm Management
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is currently being deployed in government mandated livestock identification schemes across the world. RFID in its basic function can help authorities identify animals, especially when traceability becomes paramount during disease outbreaks across regions. This paper provides a view of how an RFID-enabled dairy farm can leverage mobile network infrastructure towards achieving total […]
