MODIFIKUOTO POŽYMIŲ VAIZDE IŠSKYRIMO SURF ALGORITMO OBJEKTUI SEKTI REALIUOJU LAIKU ĮGYVENDINIMAS LAUKU PROGRAMUOJAMOJE LOGINĖJE MATRICOJE.

The paper describes the FPGA-based implementation of the modified speeded-up robust features (SURF) algorithm. FPGA was selected for parallel process implementation using VHDL to ensure features extraction in real-time. A sliding 84x84 size window was used to store integral pixels and accelerate Hessian determinant calculation, orientation assignment and descriptor estimation. The local extreme searching was used to find point of interest in 8 scales. The simplified descriptor and orientation vector were calculated in parallel in 6 scales. The algorithm was investigated by tracking marker and drawing a plane or cube. All parts of algorithm worked on 25 MHz clock. The video stream was generated using 60 fps and 640x480 pixel camera.
