Many applications in image processing have high inherent parallelism. FPGAs have shown
very high performance in spite of their low operational frequency by fully extracting the …

We propose EMD-L_ {1}: a fast and exact algorithm for computing the Earth Mover's
Distance (EMD) between a pair of histograms. The efficiency of the new algorithm enables …

Stereo vision is a well-known ranging method because it resembles the basic mechanism of
the human eye. However, the computational complexity and large amount of data access …

In this work, we present Odin II, a framework for Verilog Hardware Description Language
(HDL) synthesis that allows researchers to investigate approaches/improvements to different …

We present a stereo algorithm that achieves high quality results while maintaining real-time
performance. The key idea is simple: we introduce an adaptive aggregation step in a …

An integrated electronic-photonic phase-locked loop (PLL) modulates the frequency of a
tunable laser for use in frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) lidar 3D imaging …

This paper shows speedups attained by using computer graphics hardware for
implementation of computer vision algorithms by efficiently map** mathematical …

Reconfigurable hardware, in the form of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), is
becoming increasingly attractive for digital signal processing problems, including image …

By the end of the 20th century, the continuous progress of the semiconductor industry
brought a major transformation in the design of integrated circuits: as the speed of global …
