Object Recognition and Pose Estimation on Embedded Hardware: SURF-Based System Designs Accelerated by FPGA Logic
State-of-the-art object recognition and pose estimation
systems often utilize point feature algorithms, which in
turn usually require the computing power of conventional PC
hardware. In this paper, we describe two embedded systems for
object detection and pose estimation using sophisticated point
features. The feature detection step of the âSpeeded-up Robust
Features (SURF)â algorithm is accelerated by a special IP core.
The first system performs object detection and is completely
implemented in a single medium-size Virtex-5 FPGA. The second
system is an augmented reality platform, which consists of an
ARM-based microcontroller and intelligent FPGA-based cameras
which support the main system
Application of self-assembly techniques in the design of biocompatible protein microarray surfaces
This review focuses on the application of novel technologies for generating biocompatible surfaces for high-throughput screening (HTS) of proteins. Various methods of coupling and spotting proteins on self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surfaces will be described along with the protein chip challenges pertaining to spot homogeneity, morphology, biocompatibility and reproducibility
