FPGA Implementation of a JPEG Encoder for Efficient Web Debugging of an Unmanned Mobile Vehicle

We are developing an SoC FPGA-based unmanned mobile vehicle for an FPGA design contest. A web server is running on the vehicle, and the input video from the camera and the white line extraction result video can be checked on the client PC. We have implemented a JPEG encoder on an FPGA to improve the processing performance and debugging efficiency of the operation control. The automated driving system was mounted on AMD's Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC and the performance of the software and hardware implementations of the JPEG encoder was compared, showing the effectiveness of the hardware implementation.
