This paper presents an overview of the ATLAS Fast TracKer (FTK) processor, reporting the design of the system, its expected performance, and the current integration status. The FTK is an upgrade of the trigger system of the ATLAS experiment. The system is designed to reduce the event rate from the proton-proton collisions occurring at 40 MHz to about 1 kHz for the expected LHC luminosity (2 × 1034...
The ATLAS experiment trigger system is designed to reduce the event rate, at the LHC design luminosity of 1034 cm−2 s−1, from the nominal bunch crossing rate of 40 MHz to less than 1 kHz for permanent storage. During Run 1, the LHC has performed exceptionally well, routinely exceeding the design luminosity. From 2015 the LHC is due to operate with higher still luminosities. This will place a significant...

Vision-based lane detection is a key component for Driver-Assistance (DA) systems. It is still a challenging task in road scenes with complex shadows. This paper presents a novel local edge detector, using vanishing point position as a high level information to guide the use of steerable flters in lane detection, and its implementation on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device. The FPGA technology...
Real time event reconstruction plays a fundamental role in High Energy Physics experiments. The CDF experiment at the Tevatron collider performs a fast online reconstruction of high-resolution tracks using the Silicon Vertex Trigger (SVT). We will describe the architecture, the performance and the impact on CDF physics program of a next generation online track fitter, the GigaFitter, developed to...
As the LHC luminosity is ramped up to 3×1034 cm-2 s-1 and beyond, the high rates, multiplicities, and energies of particles seen by the detectors will pose a unique challenge. Only a tiny fraction of the produced collisions can be stored on tape and immense real-time data reduction is needed. An effective trigger system must maintain high trigger efficiencies for the physics we are most interested...
The Silicon-Vertex-Trigger (SVT) is a processor developed at CDF experiment to perform online fast and precise track reconstruction. SVT is made of two pipelined processors: the Associative Memory finds low precision tracks looking for coincidences between hits from the tracking detectors and track candidates (roads) stored in memory; the Track Fitter refines the track quality whith high precision...
It is difficult to acquire the whole scene at the same time, when the size of a requiring scene is beyond the scope of a CCD camera. In this case, the requiring scene can be captured by several CCD cameras at one time, and the overlapped images can be acquired. Using the images, the whole scene is reproduced. This paper presents an approach of using multi-sensor and image mosaics technique to implement...
