Linux touch screen on Zedboard

Given a Zedboard extended with FMC-HMI module we provide touch screen controller IP for Xilinx Zynq7000 that offloads communication between OS and the screen to FPGA. We provide bare-metal firmware for the IP and ways to extend Linux to utilize our IP.

Real-Time Face Detection on FPGA

The ability to detect faces in live video is useful for many applications: cameras auto-focus, surveillance cameras, etc. The Viola-Jones algorithm was designed to deal with this problem using pre-trained filters to classify parts of the image as faces or none. To apply the algorithm on live video, our system is a HW implementation of the algorithm running on streaming video from camera and displaying live results on monitor.

Hardware Accelerator for Matlab

Building an infrastructure for hardware accelerators based on FPGAs for algorithms implemented in MATLAB. Consists of 3 main parts: - C code that is invoked from a MATLAB script (MEX file). - PCIe driver that is used to transfer data to the hardware. - Basic hardware design that connect the PCIe and the DDR3 memory DIMMs on the VC709 board.
