Object Detection System Requirements

[Mounir]

Hello,

What would be the system requirements for an FPGA based board that has the capability to connect to the cloud (IoT features). Its application will be the object detection and tracking. Therefore, we will be needing a camera connected to the board.

Could you, please, give any suggestions regarding the whole system requirements (other than the board)?

Thanks in Advance,

Hello @Mounir,

What do you mean with "IoT features" ? Could you please be more specific with what are you planning to do?

Hello Ana-Maria,

Thank you for your response. What I meant by IoT is that I am looking for a board that has WiFi capabilities.

The system that I would like to put together should had be an FPGA based board that support a camera and another sensor such as a laser sensor for example. The system should be capable to upload the data collected into the cloud via wifi (hence iot). Could you suggest the adequate parts for such system? Thank you in advance.

Do you want a Linux based system  or bare-metal?

[Mounir]

Hi,

I would rather a bare-metal fpga board version. However, if you think there is a better option with Linux, I am happy to consider it.

Thank!

I think that you could use Zybo Z7 with Pcam 5C and Pmod WiFi.

Here are some useful projects which you can modify them and adapt them to your needs :

Zybo Z7 -20 Pcam 5C Demo :  https://github.com/Digilent/Zybo-Z7-20-pcam-5c

Pmod Wi-FI IP and some exemples : https://github.com/Digilent/vivado-library/tree/master/ip/Pmods/PmodWIFI_v1_0
