Hardware Implementation for an Improved Full-Pixel Search Algorithm Based on Normalized Cross Correlation Method
Digital speckle correlation method is widely used in the areas of three-dimensional deformation and morphology measurement. It has the advantages of non-contact, high precision, and strong stability. However, it is very complex to be carried out with low speed software implementation. Here, an improved full pixel search algorithm based on the normalized cross correlation (NCC) method considering hardware implementation is proposed. According to the field programmable gate array (FPGA) simulation results, the speed of hardware design proposed in this paper is 2000 faster than that of software in single point matching, and 600 times faster than software in multi-point matching. The speed of the presented algorithm shows an increasing trend with the increase of the template size when performing multipoint matching.
Structure and orientation control of organopolysilanes and their application to electronic devices
Abstract Molecular structure and packing of various organopolysilanes having symmetrical side-chains of alkyl substituents, such as poly(di-methyl silane), poly(di-ethyl silane), poly(di-propyl silane), poly(di-butyl silane), poly(di-pentyl silane), and poly(di-hexyl silane), are examined, and the method of orientation control of the polysilane thin film is proposed. The application of the evaporated film to the electro-luminescent device is also demonstrated.
