Eye Detector Project Midterm Review John Robertson Roy Nguyen

Project Concept Minimum Functionality Prototype LED board and drive from FPGA Display captured image (via VGA, USB, or Network)‏ Detect stationary eyes/targets at greater than 60%

Project Concept Maximum Functionality Prototype LED board and drive from FPGA Display captured image (via VGA, USB, or Network)‏ Detect stationary eyes/targets at greater than 80%

Status Report - John Hardware Design Camera circuit design Captured Camera, IR, USB schematics Layed-out Camera, IR, USB boards Software (C & Java) Implemented project algorithms in C Wrote image client (receive socket & render image) Wrote socket server to run on NIOS II cpu Logic (Verilog) Camera Interface Logic Frame Subtraction & Threshold Logic Line Components Logic

Status Report - Roy What I have done: LED circuit design Learning Orcad Learning how to use ProtoMat 60 Camera Power Supply LED fabrication Goal for next 5 weeks: Send camera, USB layouts to Board House Camera, USB fabrication Final LED board fabrication Testing the system

Master Plan From week 5 to week 8 Hardware Camera board fabrication (low priority) USB board fabrication (low priority) LED board revision with 8 LEDs (high priority) Software USB Driver (low priority) Logic Design Finish Connected Components Module (high priority) Regions List & Merge Module (high priority)

Challenges Hardware: Soldering lead-less small packages image sensor Debugging camera and USB boards Software: Improving network performance (migrate to UDP) USB driver Logic: Improving performance
