FPGA Implementation of Driver Assistance Camera Algorithms
 Summary: Historically, back-up cameras in vehicles give the driver an unaltered view from behind the vehicle; however, with the sponsorship of Xilinx, Michigan State University ECE 480 Team 3 will design and implement an algorithm that will visually alert the driver of objects seen in the back-up camera. This platform will draw the driver attention to objects both stationary and in-motion behind the vehicle by marking them with targets. In doing so, the driver will be less likely to overlook objects that may create a safety hazard. The team will combine edge detection, object detection, and image clarity algorithms to create a system that will both accurately and efficiently detect and visually alert the driver of objects behind the vehicle. Implementation of the algorithm will utilize Xilinx Spartan-3A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) development board and will be presented on design day at MSU union on December 10, 2010.
