FPGA Based Embedded Implementation of Video Summary Generation Scheme in Smart Camera

Article Preview

Abstract:

In any remote surveillance scenario, smart cameras have to take intelligent decisions to generate summary frames to minimize communication and processing overhead. Video summary generation, in the context of smart camera, is the process of merging the information from multiple frames. A summary generation scheme based on clustering based change detection algorithm has been implemented in our smart camera system for generating frames to deliver requisite information. In this paper we propose an embedded platform based framework for implementing summary generation scheme using HW-SW Co-Design based methodology. The complete system is implemented on Xilinx XUP Virtex-II Pro FPGA board. The overall algorithm is running on PowerPC405 and some of the blocks which are computationally intensive and more frequently called are implemented in hardware using VHDL. The system is designed using Xilinx Embedded Design Kit (EDK).
