Description
Summary:FPGA based Object tracking implementation is one of the most recent video surveillance applications in embedded systems. In general, FPGA implementation is more efficient than general purpose computers in attaining high throughput due to its parallelism and execution speed. The system need to be designed on a standard frame rate in such a way to achieve optimal performance in real time environment. Optimal design of a system is dependent on minimizing the cost, area (device utility) and power while achieving the required speed. Past research work that investigated object tracking systems' implementation on FPGA achieved a significantly high throughput but have shown high device utilization. This research work aims at optimizing the device utilization under real time constraints. The Adaptive Hybrid Difference algorithm (AHD), which is used to detect the moving objects, was chosen to be implemented on FPGA due to its computation ability and efficiency with regard to hardware implementation. AHD can work at various lighting conditions automatically by determining the adaptive threshold in every period of time.
