SDR-Based Platform for Processing the Images Transmitted Through the WLAN 802.11a Protocol

Abstract

In this paper, it is presented the implementation of a fast and versatile system with software defined radio, that contains data processing and radio communication algorithms, using the processing power of the integrated system on chip and the flexibility introduced by the programmable logic. The demonstrator system transmits and receives data – image captures of cars – using the local area wireless 802.11a protocol. The license plates of the cars are extracted and recognized, as part of an identification process that validates our solution.
