Are you like me interested in technology and always wanted to use one of those heavy chips called FPGA's? Interested in vision and robotics?

My goal was to bring FPGA vision to the people, accessible to everyone.

I decided to build my own basic vision system. Not based on some FPGA manufacturers expensive IP and hardware. No! Just by using a camera, LCD display that can be found anywhere on Ebay or chinese webshops. Combined with an affordable FPGA from Xilinx on a development board...the only thing required was lots of VHDL code... :)

The result is a real-time 30fps imaging system with basic color detection. I also implemented "template matching". This means you can compare a pre-stored camera image to an external FIFO memory (design of the board is included) with the real-time images coming from the camera and see the differences real-time on the LCD! Feel free to use my system to experiment and maybe implement your own algorithms.

All the details about my project are inside the uploaded ZIP file in the 2 word documents in the folders "Image tresholding" and "Template matching"

It explains everything and shows what parts you need to complete this project.
