Real time implementation of an MRF-based motion detection algorithm on a DSP board

Christophe Dumontier, Franck Luthon, J. P. Charras · 2002

The main concern in image processing is computation cost. Markov random fields (MRF) based algorithms particularly require a significant computation cost. Most of implementations of this kind of algorithms are made on parallel machines. This paper investigates an original solution for real time implementation of a robust MRF-based motion detection algorithm. A PC board, based on a pipeline architecture using a single powerfull DSP and FPGA components, is developed. The algorithm and the board are described. A processing rate of 15 images per second is achieved, showing the validity of this approach.
