Real Time Embedded Moving Objects Detector - Study and Implementation Within Virtex FPGA Technology
Abstract
This article details the design and the implementation of an efficient real time moving objects detector in the field of view of a fixed camera. The developed algorithm allows a robust motion detection and a considerable reduction in hardware resources, more particularly memory resources, which remains a powerful criterion in the construction of real time embedded systems. Moreover, the algorithm maps efficiently into a highly pipelined architecture, well suited to an implementation in reconfigurable technology. The algorithm is implemented on a Virtex FPGA architecture and operates in real time on video in CCIR format. The obtained experimental results show the effectiveness and correctness of our approach.
