    Abstract— A new kind of automatic video security system based on face-recognition & wireless communication is introduced in this article, including its design method, hardware and software architecture, and its operation results. In this system, the face images captured by the camera will be compared with the criminal face images in the original database, and the similarities between the two faces will be counted. If the similarity is higher than the threshold, an alarm signal will be sent out. The system consists of two parts. The first part is based on FPGA, which includes DE2-70 board offered by Altera corp. and peripherals such as analogical camera & CDMA Modem, etc. First, amount the hardware architecture, modules described by Verilog HDL and SOPC, within which Nios-II processor has been added, are built. Second, amount the software architecture, software is described by C/C++, a μC/OS-II is transplanted & customized tasks have been set. The function of part 1 are face-detection, face image interception, JPEG encoding & MMS (enveloping the JPEG face image) transmission. As to the second part, it is based on the PC program described by C/C++. The only peripheral in this part is another CDMA modem. The function of part 2 are MMS reception, JPEG files extraction & face-recognition (PCA). The system makes use of the advantages of FPGA, such as high operating speed, high integrated level & great convenience, etc. It also makes use of the existing wireless communication network & the PC which is highly efFigient in calculation, compared to FPGA. Therefore, a possible pattern of FPGA—remote wireless communication–PC combined system for video surveillance & intelligent modes-recognition have been introduced.

    Abstract— As the radio signal has a large range bandwidth and is complicated, here a digital multi-channel monitoring system is designed. The system tunes the frequency of wide bandwidth radio signal via controlling the RF terminal, processing the baseband data by a variable bandwidth digital down conversion, finally, applying the digital processing algorithm to obtain the spectral information. Here four scan modes are designed to monitor the radio signal effectively from different angles. The software radio technology is applied so that the system can update efficiently without changing the hardware architecture. Finally, the spectrum processing result is demonstrated in the software.

    School of Physics and Engineering, Sun Yet-Sen University

    Abstract— This paper designs and implements a panoramic monitoring system based on the FPGA fisheye lens. Fisheye images produced suffer from severe distortion. Therefore, it must be corrected to approximately rectilinear versions. Nowadays, most of the algorithms used to correct the fisheyes distortion are realized by software. In this paper, we compared three algorithms used for panoramic monitoring system. And the obtained result of the spherical perspective projection algorithm is promising. The spherical perspective projection algorithm is implemented on a FPGA and a panoramic monitoring has been achieved in a SOPC system.

    Abstract— 3D scanning is an important technology for today’s 3D applications, especially when a universal model of a real-world object is needed. Laser scanning techniques are developed, but it is difficult for it to be common used because of their complexity and high costs. A 3D scanning and modeling system with non-contact passive techniques is presented in this paper. The system is based on Altera’s Cyclone II FPGA, and by using the SOPC tools, components related to the system are integrated on the FPGA chip. We came up with image processing and modeling algorithms that are very suitable for FPGA, and made a simulation in MATLAB, the algorithms turn out to be fast and robust. And the paper shows the concrete architecture of our design. The system is cheap, simple in structure, highly integrated, relatively independent, and can make 3D models in .STL form.

    Faculty of Automation, Guangdong University of Technology

    Abstract— This paper designed an online detection system based on FPGA, which was used to detect if there is defect in the internal and external ring of the PET bottle cap and stains in the steal of the bottle cap. Based on the hardware platform whose core processor is EP4CE115F29, taking advantage of the parallelism and pipeline of the FPGA ,this system detect the internal ring, external ring and the steal of the bottle cap , then make a judgement. The MegaWizard module named Median Filter was used to smooth the image and threshold value segmentation was used to extract the part in which we are interested, and then judge whether there is stain in it. We used the projection of the gray level to get the center of the bottle cap, and then comparing with the center gravity to judge if the bottle cap is qualified. What is more, the edge detection arithmetic named Scharr was used to calculate the circular degree of internal ring, then judge if there is a defect. By experimenting repetitively, the arithmetic is useful that the system can detect the PET bottle cap efficiently. The number of the bottle cap detected the bottle is more than 50000, and the detection precision is 3.

    Abstract— We design a 32-bit embedded six-stage pipelined processor which is compatible with MIPS instruction set. The six stages make the task of each stage balanced. We use forwarding and stalling to solve data hazards. Control hazards are solved by predicting which instruction should be fetched and when the pipeline will be flushed if the prediction is later determined to be wrong. The processor is implemented in DE2 development board, and its operating clock frequency can be up to 81.7MHz. In the end we present the comprehensive results of the design. Besides, we show the software simulation and hardware verification to prove the correctness of the design.
