Abstract :
This paper discusses the design and optimization of an FPGA based MPSoC dedicated to multiple target tracking (MTT) aimed at driver assistance applications. The use of MTT in DAS´s has not been sufficiently investigated before. After designing the application we propose a multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) architecture for its physical implementation in FPGA. We formulate strategies to improve the system speed and reduce its demand for configurable resources. We identify performance bottlenecks and gradually optimize the hardware and software to meet system constraints. The result is a complete embedded MTT application running on a multiprocessor system that fits in a contemporary medium sized FPGA device.
