Moving target detection is the most common task for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to find and track object of interest from a\nbirdââ?¬â?¢s eye view in mobile aerial surveillance for civilian applications such as search and rescue operation. The complex detection\nalgorithm can be implemented in a real-time embedded system using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). This paper presents\nthe development of real-time moving target detection System-on-Chip (SoC) using FPGA for deployment on a UAV.The detection\nalgorithm utilizes area-based image registration technique which includes motion estimation and object segmentation processes.\nThe moving target detection system has been prototyped on a low-cost Terasic DE2-115 board mounted with TRDB-D5M camera.\nThe system consists of Nios II processor and stream-oriented dedicated hardware accelerators running at 100MHz clock rate,\nachieving 30-frame per second processing speed for 640 Ã?â?? 480 pixelsââ?¬â?¢ resolution greyscale videos.
