    Optimisation of pedestrian detection system using FPGA-CPU hybrid implementation for vehicle industry
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2019) Özcan, Ahmet Remzi; Tavşanoǧlu, Ahmet Vedat
    Improved image processing and developing technologies are rapidly expanding the application areas of image processing systems. In recent years, pedestrian detection systems have become one of the major safety technologies used in the automotive industry. This paper presents an optimised real-time pedestrian detection system using an FPGA-CPU based hybrid design. The histograms of oriented gradients (HOG) algorithm, which is extensively used for feature extraction in pedestrian detection applications, was implemented on a low-end FPGA. In the study, the original HOG descriptors are designed in low complexity without sacrificing performance. The obtained features were classified on a low-power single board computer with support vector machine (SVM). Tests with the INRIA pedestrian database show that the proposed model has high potential for use as a real-time low-cost pedestrian detection system in practice.

    Sperm motility analysis system implemented on a hybrid architecture to produce an intelligent analyzer
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2020) Şavkay, Osman Levent; Yalçın, Müştak Erhan; Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet Vedat
    Much research and analysis in biomedicine involve image and video inspection using microscopes. Presently, scientists are dissatisfied with manual observations and assessments, when objective and enhanced data can be obtained by applying new technologies (such as image and video inspection) to biomedical fields, such as sperm analysis. Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) systems, developed in the late 1980s, constitute third-generation methods of sperm analysis. This study aimed to develop a standalone medical image and video analysis system that is reconfigurable, flexible, reliable, deterministic, and robust. It proposed a new sperm motility analysis system running on a dual core Central Processing Unit (CPU) + field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) platform, under a real-time operating system (RTOS), which is a step ahead of the third-generation CASA systems. The system hardware and related sperm detection and tracking algorithms were the novelty of this work. The image processing functions mainly run on FPGA, image acquisition, and calculations run on CPU, parallel with FPGA. The result is a much faster, reliable, reconfigurable, and compact intelligent analyzer system. Our prototype system was applied to sperm motility analysis; however, other image processing systems can be applied to this architecture. Additionally, the proposed tracking method for sperm track determination is simple, effective, and does not exert a load on the system.

    Computer assisted sperm motility analysis implemented on hybrid CPU+FPGA architecture as an intelligent microscope application
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2016) Şavkay, Osman Levent; Yalçın, Müştak Erhan; Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet Vedat
    In this paper we present a Computer Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA) system which is designed and implemented on a hybrid CPU+FPGA architecture platform. The sperm motility analysis deals with the dynamics of sperm movements, thus requires video analysis. A 1280x960 pixel, up to 30 fps programmable camera is used and attached to a trinocular microscope and a PC is used as an HMI and for post calculations, data logging and reporting. The proposed system enables real-time image processing and hence a fast analysis environment, which is important for sperm analysis. In this way we achieved a reconfigurable, reprogrammable, adaptable and extendible system, which can be interpreted as an intelligent microscope.

    Considerations for inverter topology selection and limitations in active power filtering applications
    (IEEE, 2022-03-31) Büyükdeğirmenci, Veysel T.; Sözüer, Abdurrahman; Milletsever, Özgür C.; Kozarva, Ömer F.; Öz, Taha; Hava, Ahmet Masum
    This paper presents a modular inverter structure utilizing hybrid SiC MOSFET based active neutral point clamped inverter for active power filter (APF) applications. An FPGA-based digital controller is developed. One major factor in APF applications is the harmonic current capability of the system at higher order harmonics. Commercial products often have a derating curve for higher order harmonic ratings. This paper presents a case utilizing SiC MOSFETs to increase the switching frequency and reduce the LCL filter size. The presented approach is shown to extend the harmonic current capability up to twice in comparison with conventional IGBT-based systems.
