This project presents the design of an intelligent front end signal conditioning system for IR sensors. The system has been developed as an interface between an IR sensor matrix and a digital signal processor. The system architecture ensures its scalability so it can be used for sensors with different matrix sizes. This project presents an alternative solution that consists of moving some of these functions to the signal conditioning front-end in order to reduce the CPU overload in the digital signal processor so its processing power can be used for the higher level application tasks. |
