An FPGA-Based Rapid Wheezing Detection System

An FPGA-Based Rapid Wheezing Detection System

Wheezing is often treated as a crucial indicator in the diagnosis of obstructive pulmonary diseases. A rapid wheezing detection system may help physicians to monitor patients over the long-term. In this study, a portable wheezing detection system based on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is proposed. This system accelerates wheezing detection, and can be used as either a single-process sy...

An FPGA-Based People Detection System

This paper presents an FPGA-based system for detecting people from video. The system is designed to use JPEG-compressed frames from a network camera. Unlike previous approaches that use techniques such as background subtraction and motion detection, we use a machine-learning-based approach to train an accurate detector. We address the hardware design challenges involved in implementing such a d...

An Fpga Based Parametrisable System

This paper presents novel architectures for efficient implementation of Discrete Orthogonal Transforms (DOTs) using an FPGA based parameterisable system. These transforms are important in many signal and image processing applications including image and speech compression, filtering and coding. Two novel architectures for DOTs using both systolic architecture and distributed arithmetic design m...

An FPGA-based Smart Camera System

This paper presents an image processing system based on smart camera platform, whose two principle elements are a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The latter is used to control the various sensor parameter configurations and, where desired, to receive and process the images captured by the PTZ Camera. With the advent of today's highly integrated Field Progr...
