Need Suggestions for FYP on Image Processing

Posted: 08 Jul 2011 11:39 AM PDT

Hi Everyone!

I am a student of Electronics Engg. in 6th semester. I've to decide my FYP based on image processing applications. The application is to be implemented on any hardware platform like FPGAs, Texas DSP kits or using GPUs. I've already made a small project on target tracking through FPGA using real-time video processing. I need some latest ideas/research projects, any industry-specific or product-based project. I would be very glad and thankful if anyone could help me in this regard.

Thank you!

speed of bearing

Posted: 08 Jul 2011 07:39 AM PDT

Hi everybody.
I understand that bearing (a normal 10 $ ball bearing for example) .. can withstand limited speed (say 3000 rpm)
if spent at further speed then we should expect heating and wearing.
my question that if I had an application with higher speed. and I used two bearings one inside the other (outer diameter of smaller bearing goes inside the inner surface of larger bearing, or even through some spacing cylinder)..
would that get a speed range of multiplication of these two bearings .. and if not .. why ??:|
