Abstract
The paper describes the architecture of a real-time invariant object recognition machine. The machine has been implemented on five XC4010 reconfigurable Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices, operate with a PC host. The employment of FPGAs allowed compact implementation of a highly complex design with accelerated speed performance. Rotational invariance of the image is achieved by first performing projection process, and then a 32-point fast feature extractor, the Rapid Transform, is adopted. The machine can operate at up to 50 frames/sec using images received from a 128x128 camera.
