Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A novel template matching algorithm for road signboard recognition is proposed. By using Levenshtein distance, the shifted position problem between the target and templates is mitigated. For high speed implementation, a hardware engine with 32 modules perform the template matching in parallel is designed. For mounting the system on a car, the designed hardware is implemented on the FPGA. The execution speed is about three times as the software executed on the PC, and the 30 frame/sec throughput which is need for practical usage is achieved.
