FPGAs provide computational platforms for high performance and energy efficient implementation of algorithms in embedded systems. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have become an essential part of modern cars to improve the safety and reduce the accidents. It helps automating functions such as lane deviation avoidance, vehicle and pedestrian detection, etc. The aim of this research is to implement algorithms used for lane detection and vehicle detection using OpenCL for FPGA implementation.
