Concurrent Hardware Alternatives for the Implementation of the Binary Hough Transform

  • Luciano da Fontoura Costa USP

Resumo


Alternativas de hardware concorrente são consideradas para a implementação da transformada binária de Hough, uma técnica simples e efetiva para detecção de barras digitais. As alternativas consideradas incluem: processadores de alto desempenho para uso geral (transputers e TMS320C40), o processador de imagens paralelo MAPP2200, circuitos lógicos discretos e VLSI digital e de multiplos-valores. Os méritos e limitações de cada uma destas opções para a implementação da transformada binária de Hough são discutidos.
