Abstract

In this paper we present a hardware architecture for a Support Vector Machine intended for vision applications to be implemented in a FPGA device. The architecture computes the contribution of each support vector in parallel without performing multiplications by using a CORDIC algorithm and a hardware-friendly kernel function. Additionally input images are not preprocessed for feature extraction as each image is treated as a point in a high dimensional space.
