Abstract

As the demand of an automatic fire detection system is increasing in recent years, a vision-based fire detection system is appealing. However, vision-based fire detection algorithms require tremendous computational performance, limiting their use in real-time applications. This paper proposes a multi-core prototyping system to support these high computational algorithms. The multi-core architecture including 16 processing elements (PEs) is implemented on a vertex 4 FPGA chip of the HUINS SoC Master 3 board. In addition, the performance of a selected four-stage fire detection algorithm is evaluated using the multi-core prototyping system. Experimental results show that the proposed multi-core prototyping system executing at 50 MHz clock frequency supports seven frames per second for a 240 × 200 resolution video. In addition, the proposed multi-core system achieves about 1.87 × speedup over commercial high-performance TI DSP operating at 720 MHz clock frequency.
