High Speed Tracking of Moving Objects and Depth Estimation by using Smart Image Sensor and FPGA

We have been investigating an integration of sensing and compression in an image sensor. A compression Sensor reduces the number of pixels in the image signal that have to be read out from the sensor, We present a real-time object tracking system by using a compression sensor that has 128×128 pixels and FPGA, By using this system. several moving objects can be extracted and tracked independently at 1200 frames/second. We also describe real-time depth estimation by using a binocular compression sensor. We show some results obtained by the system.
