This project is to design and implement a reconfigurable measurement interface for Internet of Things sensors, for the Microelectronics Department of the Delft University of Technology. This thesis will discuss the functionality and design process taken in designing such a reconfigurable measurement interface, focusing on generating signals and...

Augmented Reality in a Virtual Reality Setup: Video transfer and processing

This thesis covers part of the development of the project "Augmented Reality in a Virtual Reality Setup". The covered part is about the communication between a Personal Computer (PC), and an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) and vice-versa. This communication is crucial for transfer of a camera stream from the FPGA to the PC and applying...

Wireless control of LED display using Bluetooth and Android

This thesis elaborates on the implementation of the FPGA board in order to drive the LED system. The goal of this project is to make every part of the design regarding the control of the electronics as customizable as possible. This project consists of 3 main parts to drive the LED system. The first part is called the “Collector”. The collector...

Low-Cost Smith-Waterman Acceleration

Due to advancing technology, genetic sequencing has become cheaper over the years. This has caused the demand for computational power to grow even faster than Moore's law. To remedy this problem, we analyzed low-cost hardware solutions to parallelize the computational part of the genetic sequencing. We proposed a novel method for calculating the...

Acceleration of Fingerprint Minutiae Extraction Using a VLIW Processor

Deze scriptie beschrijft het ontwerp van een embedded systeem dat de kenmerkende eigenschappen uit de afbeelding van een vingerafdruk haalt. Het betreft een hardware/software codesign, waarbij een VLIW-processor als accelerator is gebruikt.

Systeemontwerp voor beeldrealisatie op elektronisch papier

In deze thesis wordt een conceptontwerp geboden voor een product, die gebruik maakt van super e-paper. Super e-paper is een snel type van elektronisch papier met hoge resolutie. Elektronisch papier is een buigzaam beeldscherm, zonder backlighting, die alleen energie nodig heeft om het beeld te veranderen. Het beeld, eenmaal erop gezet, blijft...
