FPGA-BASED ON-BOARD HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING COMPRESSION: BENCHMARKING PERFORMANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY AGAINST GPU IMPLEMENTATIONS

Remote-sensing platforms, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, are characterized by limited power budget and low-bandwidth downlinks.Therefore, handling hyperspectral data in this context can jeopardize the operational time of the system.FPGAs have been traditionally regarded as the most power-efficient computing platforms.However, there is little exp

ABSTRACT Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) is the eighth most important crop globally.However, the production and quality of sweetpotatoes are threatened by Fusarium diseases that are prevalent around the world.In this study, a Fusarium species that causes root and stem rot in sweetpotatoes was studied.The pathogenic fungus CRI 24-3 was isolated and se
