Abstract

In this paper, we propose an FPGA-based collision warning system for advanced automobile driver assistance systems or autonomous moving robots. The system consists of three function blocks: edge detection, moving-object detection and danger evaluation and collision warning. In the moving-object detection, the system uses a moving-object detection algorithm inspired by neuronal propagation in the hippocampus, which can run in high speed and low calculation cost. We have applied the system in a robot. It can detect moving objects with a speed range of 3-47cm/s with a sampling period of 33ms for an input image of 320×240 pixels, and can output a warning against dangerous regions in the input image.
