T-COR-10 FPGA IP Core for tracking

objects in video stream images

Intellectuals Property object tracking cores (IP cores)

supplied by RIFTEK ensure stable tracking of various

classes of objects such as vehicles, flying objects, surface

objects and humans. The IP cores are capable of operation

with any video sources featuring resolution up to

2048x2048 pixels. Video source for IP cores can be

provided by both common cameras and thermal vision

cameras. The IP cores allow simultaneous tracking of

several objects. A simple data exchange interface ensures

easy integration of the IP cores into any FPGA-base

technical vision systems. The cores require a little use of

FPGA resources, which allows one to combine several

cores in one project. Our IP cores support all FPGA

families of Xilinx company.

The T-COR-10 FPGA IP core supports tracking of up to 5

objects in images of video sequence at the frame refresh

rate of up to 30 Hz. User carries out capture of object for

tracking and aborts object tracking. User can control the

size and position of the tracking strobes. As output informa-

tion the core gives the position of tracking objects in the

image in the screen coordinate system. The core makes it

possible to track small-size and low-contrast objects

moving at various speeds against a complex background.

The core implements unique highly efficient algorithms of

tracking that allow their use in tackling any problems. The

core represents a simple and effective interaction interface.

It can be easily used in any FPGA projects. The designer

using the core does not have a need for any special

organization of an FPGA project.

All interfaces used in the core are standardized. The IP core

interacts with DDR memory controller directly. The

designer has only to link the intedaces used. Control of the

core operation modes is organized through a simple unified

interface. Initial configuration of the core is effected via a

configuration-register-write interface (analogous to control

interface). The data output interface is also similar to the

control interface. A simple data exchange interface allows

easy transfer of the core from one project to the other._

OPERATION Pf

The core ensures detection of coordinates of up to 5 objects

in video stream images. Position of tracking object is

determined in the screen coordinate system. Capture of

objects for tracking and rejection of tracking is performed

by a command transmitted via of a special interface. The

core reads the next frame from the DDR memory and

performs its processing. The output information is

presented as position of tracked objects in each processed

image of the video stream.
