T-COR-10 FPGA IP Core for tracking
objects in video stream images
Intellectuals Property object tracking cores (IP cores)
supplied by RIFTEK ensure stable tracking of various
classes of objects such as vehicles, flying objects, surface
objects and humans. The IP cores are capable of operation
with any video sources featuring resolution up to
2048x2048 pixels. Video source for IP cores can be
provided by both common cameras and thermal vision
cameras. The IP cores allow simultaneous tracking of
several objects. A simple data exchange interface ensures
easy integration of the IP cores into any FPGA-base
technical vision systems. The cores require a little use of
FPGA resources, which allows one to combine several
cores in one project. Our IP cores support all FPGA
families of Xilinx company.

The T-COR-10 FPGA IP core supports tracking of up to 5
objects in images of video sequence at the frame refresh
rate of up to 30 Hz. User carries out capture of object for
tracking and aborts object tracking. User can control the
size and position of the tracking strobes. As output informa-
tion the core gives the position of tracking objects in the
image in the screen coordinate system. The core makes it
possible to track small-size and low-contrast objects
moving at various speeds against a complex background.
The core implements unique highly efficient algorithms of
tracking that allow their use in tackling any problems. The
core represents a simple and effective interaction interface.
It can be easily used in any FPGA projects. The designer
using the core does not have a need for any special
organization of an FPGA project.
All interfaces used in the core are standardized. The IP core
interacts with DDR memory controller directly. The
designer has only to link the intedaces used. Control of the
core operation modes is organized through a simple unified
interface. Initial configuration of the core is effected via a
configuration-register-write interface (analogous to control
interface). The data output interface is also similar to the
control interface. A simple data exchange interface allows
easy transfer of the core from one project to the other._
OPERATION Pf
The core ensures detection of coordinates of up to 5 objects
in video stream images. Position of tracking object is
determined in the screen coordinate system. Capture of
objects for tracking and rejection of tracking is performed
by a command transmitted via of a special interface. The
core reads the next frame from the DDR memory and
performs its processing. The output information is
presented as position of tracked objects in each processed
image of the video stream.
