Fast and Power-efficient Embedded Software Implementation of Digital Image Stabilization for Low-cost Autonomous Boats
Navigating natural and narrow waterways is challenging for low-cost ASVs due to possible obstacles and limited precision global positioning system (GPS) data. Visual information coming from a camera can be used for collision avoidance, and digital image stabilization is a fundamental step for achieving this capability.
This work presents an implementation of an image stabilization algorithm for a heterogeneous low-power board (i.e., NVIDIA Jetson TX1).
