"Real Time Reconfiguarable Image Analysis"
A hyperlink to the full paper will be inserted here in the near future. The paper is currently going through the release cycle. rk - June 20, 1999.
Sandia National Laboratories is prototyping a reconfigurable image
processing system using FPGAs. Two algorithms that have application in
space collected imagery are being implemented. The first algorithm allows multiple frames
from a staring sensor to be integrated into a single "superresolution" image by
using information gained by subpixel shifts between frames. The second algorithm allows
inversion of a sequence of chromotomographic data into an image cube of hyperspectral
data. The principle is similar to the familiar CT scan used for medical purposes. These
two algorithms have significant computational similarities, and this will be exploited in
the reconfigurable system.
