Abstract :
An on-board UAV high-performance collision avoidance system sets up drastic constraints, which can be fulfilled by using carefully optimized many-core computational architectures. We report here a case study, where we implemented a many-core processor system, which can process a 100 megapixels/sec video flow, identifying remote airplanes, tracking flying objects by implementing computationally intensive Kalman filters. The introduced processor system is implemented in Spartan 6 FPGA, and consumes less than 1W.
