FPGA-accelerated Laser Line Profile Extraction

The research project with Xiris Automation Inc, a developer of high-end machine vision components, is to devise a laser vision system to inspect pipe welds at very high speeds. This will be accomplished by designing custom hardware on a field programmable gate array (FPGA). This process must detect reliably the quality of the welds in a noisy industrial environment and must account for specular reflection on the pipe’s surface. The desired image acquisition and processing speed will be in the range of 200-500 frames per second.
