Abstract:

A realtime deep space target detecting and tracking system using a single FPGA based on SOPC is introduced. A dual CPUs system is built. One piece of CPU is used for target detecting and tracking, and another is used for communication and control. Both of them make the software and hardware design as an organic whole. The system uses custom instructions, userdefined logic, C2H and other hardware accelerate technologies, also combines fixedpoint operations and floatingpoint operations to reduce hardware resources. The experiment result shows that the system perfectly meets the requirements of the realtime target detecting and tracking in deep space.
