Software Defined Display on Flexible 360° Screen

IAI will provide a Software Defined Display on Flexible LCD Panoramic Viewer with real-time 3D information. We use a number of flexible LCD panels for the panoramic screen. The system uses FPGAs to control the 360° video data and sends portions of entire frame to every LCD panel which also has a FPGA as a controller. FPGA MicroBlaze and our HDL IP cores are used to implement Software Define Display. When user presses a button to choose the mode, the corresponding firmware is downloaded to the FPGAs, so that a new display mode is configured. We also detail a particular a 3D omni-directional sensor solution to provide 3D 360° video, and a corresponding real-time approach for targets detection, location and alarm. The advantages of the proposed 360°, 3D imagery system are: • Both sensors and displays are interfaced readily through plug and play. • Many display modes can be chosen to meet a variety of applications. • The 3D sensor is structured to simplify 3D image processing, • The system is very compact and consumes little power.
