Real-time disparity estimation running on embedded Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+

In order to improve usability and safety, modern unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are equipped with sensors to monitor the environment, such as laser-scanners and cameras. One important aspect in this monitoring process is to detect obstacles in the flight path in order to avoid collisions. Since a large number of consumer UAVs suffer from tight

TULIPP Demo at EMVA Forum 2018

Fraunhofer demo TULIPP hardware at the European Machine Vision Association Forum, 5th - 7th September 2018, Bologna, Italy. The demo here has a dual/stereo camera setup. This solution weighs less than a depth sensor, is cheaper and can perform real-time depth estimation for obstacle/collision avoidance.         Download a copy of the Poster

TULIPP at the EMVA Forum in Bologna

On Thursday September 6th, Fraunhofer IOSB will present TULIPP at the 3rd EMVA Forum in Bologna.  We will show a live demo of real-time stereo processing on the EMC2-DP board equipped with a Xilinx Ultrascale+ during the poster session. Looking forward to seeing you there! https://www.emva.org/

First public release of the TULIPP toolchain STHEM

The first version of the TULIPP tool-chain is now available to the public. The TULIPP toolchain is called STHEM - an acronym for Supporting uTilities for Heterogeneous EMbedded image processing platforms. The key feature of STHEM is that it automatically and non-intrusively captures fine-grained performance and power consumption profiles. This enables the developer to quickly determine

TULIPP obstacle avoidance based on embedded stereo for UAVs

The performance of the reactive obstacle avoidance was tested on real objects in a hardware in the loop (HIL) setup. In our approach the disparity image is calculated on Xilinx Ultrascale+ FPGA and transformed into U-map and V-map. The images are filtered and waypoints are estimated. The application runs in the DJI Simulator.
