| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 資訊工程學系碩士班 === 93 === Embedded System is a computing platform designed for specific purpose. Because it’s task is much simpler than personal computer which is designed for general computing purpose, Embedded System can simplify its hardware architecture, cost down its hardware price, produce smaller device and low energy consumption. It also fits to be mobile computing platform. But Embedded System is constrained by its simple architecture; its processing power is much slower than personal computer.
This paper purpose a software porting procedure between personal computer and Embedded System platform via a instance of Car License Plate Recognition System , and make Embedded Car License Plate Recognition System more efficient via exchange floating operation by integer operation and bitwise operation. For Example the image format captured by COMS, is Color Filter Array ,and this format will lost 2/3’s original image illumination. The illumination recovery process was originally involve with mass of floating operation, after applying the speeding method that we just mention before the processing time become times faster.
We also use uClinux to assist hardware communication and process scheduling, and uClinux makes Embedded System able to handle complicated process control, also make software porting much smooth. Network File System ,NFS not only resolving the problem of lacking storage media, but also reduces the times of flash Rom burning procedure. Finally we use TCP/IP to transfer the image captured by CMOS to remote personal computer for Car License Plate Recognition ,and compare Car License Plate Recognition results between Embedded System and personal computer.
