Real time computer vision by means of CNNs on FPGAs

Abstract

In previous works [1, 2] we developed a visual servoing platform using C language to extract the required information from the images, the necessary time to process the images don't allow us to achieve a real time operation. In order to get real time image processing we proposed to use Discrete time Cellular Neural Networks [10, 11]. In this paper we report on CNN emulation on Altera FPGA using VHDL language
