Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) for pattern recognition to use in embedded applications. The target Soc consists of LEON2 core, AMBA/APB bus-systems and custom-designed accelerators for Gaussian Pyramid construction, lighting compensation and histogram equalization. A new FPGA-based prototyping platform is implemented and used for design and verification of the target SoC. To ensure that the implemented SoC satisfies the required performances, a pattern recognition application is performed.
