abstract: Electro optical measurements, i.e. optical waveguides and plasmonic based electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (P EIS) are based on the sensitive dependence of refractive index of electro optical sensors on surface charge density, modulated by an AC electrical field applied to the sensor surface. Recently, P EIS has emerged as a new analytical tool that can resolve local impedance with high, optical spatial resolution, without using microelectrodes. This study describes a high speed image acquisition and processing system for electro optical measurements, based on a high speed complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor and a field programmable gate array (FPGA) board. The FPGA is used to configure CMOS parameters, as well as to receive and locally process the acquired images by performing Fourier analysis for each pixel, deriving the real and imaginary parts of the Fourier coefficients for the AC field frequencies. An AC field generator, for single or multi sine signals, is synchronized with the high speed acquisition system for phase measurements. The system was successfully used for real time angle resolved electro plasmonic measurements from 30 Hz up to 10 kHz, providing results consistent to ones obtained by a conventional electrical impedance approach. The system was able to detect amplitude variations with a relative variation of 1% even for rather low sampling rates per period (i.e. 8 samples per period) The PC (personal computer) acquisition and control software allows synchronized acquisition for multiple FPGA boards, making it also suitable for simultaneous angle resolved P EIS imaging.

abstract: Embedded eye tracking systems usually require high performance of the physical devices on which they are implemented. Low power consumption, low heat and small size factors create barriers in decision making to define the core components of the final design of such a system. For the proposed system, a custom board was manufactured to meet these requirements. The board uses an ARM Cortex A9 based microcontroller, FPGA and two external RAM memory integrated circuits. However, in order to ensure maximal efficiency in terms of utilization of each hardware component, proper software modules should be designed. In this paper we are presenting an image acquisition architecture for eye tracking systems and discuss its performance.

title: Design and Implementation of Embedded Image Acquisition System
year: 2013

abstract: To obtain a wider view around underwater robotic vehicle, a remote underwater dual cameras acquisition system based on V4L2 is developed. Athena III PC104 with embedded Linux uses two USB cameras for the hardware development platform. After transplanting the embedded Linux OS and drivers, the image acquisition combined with V4L2 using the X264 and FFMPEG is implemented for digital image encoding and decoding. The images are transported into two separate image channels to network via User Datagram Protocol (UDP) socket. A graphical user interface is designed using GTK toolkit for user display purpose. Experimental tests had shown that the two channel image data were able to transmit independently without much interference and data loss. In addition, the image size of 320x240 transmitting at a frame rate of 10 frames per second had shown a good quality video. The proposed acquisition system has a good scalability and offers a new approach for embedded system design for remote multi channel signal acquisition in underwater.

abstract: This article is based on CMOS image sensor which is commonly used in image acquisition. It applies 32 bit ARM9 microprocessor S3C2410A as the CPU to control other function modules and designs embedded Arm9 image acquisition system for the realization of machine vision. The main function modules are SDRAM memory cell, image acquisition unit and Ethernet transmission module, UART serial port communication module, Flash module, power supply module, etc. Compared with machine vision systems of the traditional "image acquisition card PC terminal control device" model, the image acquisition system has advantages of small volume, low cost, low power consumption, strong real time performance, etc. And it can be used for practical application in video image monitoring, automatic detection, medical and military detection and so on.
