Hardware design of infrared dim target real time detection and tracking system based on multiple ADSP-TS201S

The hardware design of a real time infrared dim target detection and tracking system was introduced and the signal processing module in this system was presented in detail. Using 600 MHz high performance digital signal processor produced by the Analog Device Company, four pieces of ADSP-TS201 were coupled loosely to constitute a parallel processing module. The computational performance of this module can be up to 19.2 GMAC (16 bit) per second in fixed-point operation and 14.4 GFLOPS in floating-point. This module affords a hardware flat to the real time detection and tracking of serial weak and small infrared targets.
