Abstract

We have designed an automated visual surveillance system for monitoring sleeping infants. The low-level image
processing is implemented on an embedded Xilinx’s Virtex
II XC2v6000 FPGA and quantifies the level of scene activity using a specially designed background subtraction algorithm. We present our algorithm and show how we have
optimised it for this platform.
