title = "A CORDIC arctangent FPGA implementation for a high-speed 3D-camera system",
abstract = "This paper presents the design and FPGA implementation of a pipelined CORDIC arctangent unit suitable for use in a 3D camera system. The end use for this application is in the assembly of printed circuit boards where there is a need for high-speed 3D height inspection of solder paste. FPGAs are chosen as the implementation platform, firstly for their quick turnaround to a final prototype; secondly for their reprogrammability to meet advances in algorithm design via software rather than hardware; thirdly footprint compatible higher speed grade FPGAs can be used to adapt the system to improved sensor technologies as they become available; finally the latest FPGAs offer a wide range of resources, including SDRAM drivers, ZBTSRAM drivers, fast carry logic and interfaces such as LVTTL and LVDS.",
