Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A real-time optical flow processor has been implemented using single FPGA chip. By introducing four effective methods, modified newton’s method, hierarchical SOR method, modified initial flow generation method, and optimization of overlap pixels, both reducing the hardware amount and improving the flow accuracy are accomplished. Also by introducing the pipeline structure to this processor, high through-put hardware implementation can be realized. Total LC amount and memory capacity of this processor are reduced about 8% and 16% respectively compared to previous our HOE processor. This processor performs WXGA 30-fps at 175.5MHz real-time optical flow processing with single FPGA.
