A 2-D motion detection model for low-cost embedded reconfigurable I/O devicesA 2-D motion detection model for low-cost embedded reconfigurable I/O devices Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-11-022005enA low-cost reconfigurable embedded apparatus for two-dimensional (2-D) motion detection has been developed. This paper briefly outlines the embedded reconfigurable system architecture, and presents in-depth the 2-D motion detection model, which is directly mapped to reconfigurable hardware. Emphasis is placed on the hardware ability to adapt to individual needs of kinetically challenged persons by altering detection thresholds and delays, thus resulting into an efficient low-cost reconfigurable hardware implementation of the model. This paper also presents how the model detects complex motions through a vocabulary of simple motions, and how the system is trained to individual users' needs. Experimental results and integrated applications of the model for text processing are also presented.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering5281443-1449 Dollas Apostolos Δολλας Αποστολος Sotiropoulos Stamatios Papadimitriou Kyprianos Παπαδημητριου Κυπριανος Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Motion detection Hardware Field programmable gate arrays Microcontrollers Vocabulary Embedded system Virtual reality Control systems Programmable logic arrays Microprocessors
