Design and Implementation of Vehicle Pedestrian Detection System Based on FPGA

Abstract:

The vehicle pedestrian detection system is a kind of solution to car driver assistance. The system can detect pedestrian in dangerous and send early warning to drivers automatically. Therefore, it has practical significance to develop a robust、real-time and stability pedestrian detection system which can reduce and avoid pedestrian accidents effectively. This article completes the vehicle pedestrian detection system based on FPGA. It used the cyclone II EP2C70 DSP development board provided by the Altera Corporation. By testing, the system can determine a size of 320 × 240 grayscale image takes about 723ms at the clock frequency in the 100MHZ. It achieves the desired functionality. The system has better real-time and reliability. At the same time, it has small size, easy to control and the most important is that it has broad application prospects.
