Lattice Semiconductor’s ECP5™ FPGA Enables Energy-Efficient Embedded Vision Systems at the Edge
State-of-the-art License Plate Recognition for Intelligent Traffic
Cameras and 360 Degree Surround View for ADAS to be Showcased at CES
- Intelligent traffic camera system utilizes ECP5 FPGA for license plate detection, image processing, and image enhancement
- ADAS 360 degree surround view system utilizes ECP5 FPGA for 4-channel image stitching, fish eye correction, and 3D seamless merging
- Both systems achieve improved energy efficiency, system performance, and low cost with ECP5 FPGA-based acceleration
Intelligent traffic systems (ITS), including traffic flow monitoring,
traffic violations identification, smart parking, and toll collection
are a key part of the vision of tomorrow’s Smart Cities. Such systems
typically require intelligent traffic cameras that can accurately detect
many aspects of a vehicle, such as license plates, even in harsh
environments, to perform video analytics at the Edge, rather than
sending raw video streams back to the Cloud.
“When seeking a partner to collaborate on our intelligent traffic camera, we were looking for a scalable, low power solution to ensure flawless real-time license plate image capture,” said Ting Zhou, CEO of Microsharp. “Lattice’s ECP5 FPGA was a natural fit, allowing us to take advantage of the product’s energy efficient image enhancement and processing capabilities to accelerate the development of our intelligent camera.”
360 degree surround view system is a popular automotive ADAS technology
for parking assistance. These systems typically capture their
surroundings using at least four cameras facing different directions
around the car to generate a composite view for the driver to assist
with parking and low-speed maneuvering. The NEX-ADAS 360º 3-D Surround
View Monitoring Technology from
“Lattice’s ECP5 FPGA family offers the low power, small form factor and
flexible connectivity requirements needed to support our ADAS 360
surround view system, providing advanced, high-quality image-stitching
technologies to further differentiate our product from others on the
market,” said
“ECP5 FPGAs are ideal for flexible connectivity and acceleration at the
Edge, due to their low power consumption and small form factor,” said
