Abstract

In this paper, we proposed the design of an FPGA-based image processing system for target locating. The locating mechanism is based on the feature line segments of target’s image. The system processes the target’s image sequence, finds and matches feature points on each image, and uses the feature points to calculate the length of feature line segments for target locating. We implemented the Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) algorithm on FPGA hardware to extract feature points. The system has a core CPU for control and part of the mathematical computation. Custom-designed logic circuit modules are used to accelerate the feature point extraction. The system’s software is designed to work with parallel and pipeline operation. The performance test shows that the system is capable of real-time processing.
