Real-time image registration and fusion in a FPGA architecture (Ad-FIRE)
2011
Real-time Image Registration is a key processing requirement of Waterfall Solutions' image fusion system, Ad-FIRE,
which combines the attributes of high resolution visible imagery with the spectral response of low resolution thermal
sensors in a single composite image. Implementing image fusion at video frame rates typically requires a high bandwidth
video processing capability which, within a standard CPU-type processing architecture, necessitates bulky, high power
components. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offer the prospect of low power/heat dissipation combined with
highly efficient processing architectures for use in portable, battery-powered, passively cooled applications, such as
Waterfall Solutions' hand-held or helmet-mounted Ad-FIRE system.
