Design and Implementation of an Object Tracker on a Reconfigurable System on Chip

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a feature tracker on an embedded reconfigurable hardware system. Contrary to other works, the focus here is on the efficient hardware/software partitioning of the feature tracker algorithm, a viable data flow management as well as an efficient use of memory and processor features. The implementation is done on a Xilinx evaluation board and the results provided show the superiority of our implementation compared to the other works
