Abstract

Video-based navigation is an increasingly used procedure with hard real-time requirements and high computational effort. In this field, FPGA hardware accelleration supplyes low-cost and considerable performances enhancement. The video-based navigation algorithms extrapolate and correlates features from images, relying on their accuracy. Image enhancement provides more defined and contrasted frames, assuring high precision feature extraction. This work introduces an FPGA-based self-adaptive image enhancer. The IP-core is suitable for hard-real time applications, such as space applications, thanks to the guaranteed high-throughput.
