Abstract

In this paper, we implemented the conventional FAST and BRIEF algorithm as hardware on Zynq-7000 SoC Platform. Previous feature-based hardware accelerator is mostly implemented using the SIFT or SURF algorithm, but it requires excessive internal memory and hardware cost. The proposed FAST & BRIEF accelerator reduces approximately 57% of internal memory usage and 70% of hardware cost compared to the conventional SIFT or SURF accelerator, and it processes 0.17 pixel per clock.
