Self adaptive augmented reality systems on FPGA

Augmented reality (AR) systems emerged and become a very gifted 3D embedded multimedia application. AR consists on adding specific 3D's animations on a video flow. The design and the implementation of such systems on FPGA are complex and difficult. To reduce computational resources that must be carefully used to execute complex application. This execution can be often done in unpredictable environments: it is the major problem to solve. The system architecture must be efficient and flexible enough to adapt system resources to the application requirements and the environment architectures and mobile's constraints. In this paper, we describe our concept of flexible architecture: we have developed IPs to obtain self-adaptive augmented reality systems to implement on FPGA.
