چکیده

This paper describes an evolvable image filter which is completely implemented in a field programmable gate array. The proposed system is able to evolve an image filter in a few seconds if corrupted and original images are supplied by user. The architecture is generic and can easily be modified to realize other evolvable systems. COMBO6 card with Xilinx Virtex xc2v3000 FPGA is used as a target platform.

Fixed-point FPGA Implementation of a Kalman Filter for Range and Velocity Estimation of Moving Targets

Tracking filters are extensively used within object tracking systems in order to provide consecutive smooth estimations of position and velocity of the object with minimum error. Namely, Kalman filter and its numerous variants are widely known as simple yet effective linear tracking filters in many diverse applications. In this paper, an effective method is proposed for designing and implementa...

An evolvable hardware system in Xilinx Virtex II Pro FPGA

In this paper, a new circuit architecture for image filter evolution is proposed. The evolvable system is based on the implementation of a search algorithm in the PowerPC processor which is available in Xilinx Virtex II Pro Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Candidate filters are evaluated in a domain-specific virtual reconfigurable circuit implemented using a reconfigurable logic of the s...

Complete FPGA Implemented Evolvable Image Filters

This paper describes a complete FPGA implemented intrinsic evolvable system which is employed as a novel approach to automatic design of spatial image filters for two given types of noise. The genotype-phenotype representation of the proposed evolvable system is inspired by the Cartesian Genetic Programming and the function level evolution. The innovative feature of the proposed system is that ...

Towards Evolvable IP Cores for FPGAs

The paper deals with a new approach to the design of adaptive hardware using common Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). The ultimate aim is to develop evolvable IP (Intellectual Property) cores. The cores should be reused in the same way as ordinary IP cores are reused. In contrast to the conventional cores, the evolvable cores are able to perform autonomous evolution of their internal circu...
