Abstract

Presented in this paper is a demonstration system that uses a low-power SCAMP-5 256×256 vision-chip to locate and count multiple objects moving at high speed along arbitrary trajectories. The hardware consists of a SCAMP-5 IC, its power supply system and a Xilinx Spartan3 controller. At 100,000fps, the SCAMP-5 chip can locate and readout the coordinates of a single closed-shaped object amongst clutter. At 25,000fps, the IC can readout the coordinates of 5 objects.
