  1. Live Action First Person Shooter Game Patrick Judd Ian Katsuno Bao Le

  2. Inspiration • Inspired by the “Real Time Color Replacement” Project (2009) • Wanted to combine their invisibility effect with a Duck Hunt style game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_Hunt http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/~pc/courses/432/2009/projects/colorreplacement.pdf

  3. How our game works • Camera captures the game stage and displays it on a monitor • People/objects which enter the stage become targets • User shoots targets on the monitor with a gun controller • When a target is hit, it disappears (invisibility effect)

  4. Revised Project Goal • Two foreseen difficulties • Custom HW interface for gun controller • Tracking multiple targets • Revised project goals • Use a mouse instead of a gun controller • Restrict number of supported targets to one

  5. Camera Mouse Analog Video Decoder Serial Port Driver Digital • RAM • live image • reference image Light gun • MicroBlaze Processor Hit/Miss Analyzer Target Locator Target Manager Target Drawer Draw B/W Image* • RAM • Modified image Video Encoder Optional Monitor Initial System Block Diagram Video_to_ram

  6. Target Locator • Compares reference image to live image • A difference in color indicated a target • Encodes targets location as: (x min, y min) (x max, y max) Target Locator

  7. Reference Image

  8. Live Image

  9. Target Location

  10. PS/2 Mouse • FPS requires: • High Precision • Quick Response Time • Replaced Light Gun as input. • No ECE532 project has used it!

  11. Mouse Operation • Xilinx IP: XPS_Ps2 v1.00a • Communicates with Microblaze over PLB • SW Initialization: predefined sequence of byte codes • Interrupts on action (move or click) • Receives info packets in ISR

  12. Software – Target Manger • Tracks movement of target based on coordinates from the target locator • Needs to distinguish an old target from a new target • Compares target location to mouse coordinates to detect “hits” • Remembers if a target has be hit

  13. Target Remover • Gets coordinates of box to remove from microblaze (x min, y min) (x max, y max) If (pixel is in box) read from reference image Else read from live image Video Encoder

  14. Design Flow - Hardware • Start with simple custom core to read and write to memory • Create verilog testbench and simulate core • Compare output waveforms with spec • Test core in hardware • Incrementally add functionality

  15. Design Flow - Software • Wrote algorithms and data structures in Linux • Integrated into microblaze code • Debugged microblaze software using xps gdb

  16. Problem - Mouse Initialization Initialization: Send and receive a sequence of byte-codes Problem: Mouse wouldn’t follow script! Debug: • Tried to isolate the problem: • Tried mouse on other PC • Read Registers using XMD Solution: Get another mouse!

  17. Problem - Mouse Buffer Overflow Problem: Buffer overflow interrupt occur Debug: • Decrease sample rate • Receive more than one packet in ISR? Solution: Printf too slow, Remove it!

  18. Problem – Custom Logic • Target Locator core worked correctly in simulation • However the core did not function in hardware • Tried a variety of debug methods but could not isolate the cause of the problem • LEDs and switches • Chipscope • XPS hdl simulator

  19. Problem – Custom Logic • Solution: • Use mem_to_ip/ip_to_mem core from “Real Time Color Replacement” Project • Used their FSMs to perform memory reads and writes • Added our own target locator logic • Also move target remover functionality to software

  20. Problem - Integration • the ps2 core caused erroneous target detection when it was added to the project • possibly due to bus read errors • We are currently unable to find a solution

  21. For the demo • Two demos too show functionality of parts of the design before integration, in lieu of the ps2 – detection issue

  22. For the demo 1. Target locator reading the video signal and sending target information to microblaze Video Decoder • RAM • - live image • reference image • MicroBlaze Processor Target Locator Video Encoder

  23. For the demo 2. Mouse to video interface and target remover functionality Mouse Video Decoder Serial Port Driver • RAM • live image • reference image • MicroBlaze Processor Hit or Miss Analyzer Target Manager Video Encoder

  24. Lessons learned • Don’t try to reinvent the wheel • We spend a lot of timing trying to recreate what other group had already done instead of focusing on the “new” aspects of our project

  25. Lessons learned • Our approach to hardware debugging was less than ideal • We had • multiple group members debugging independently • used different methods • Should have • decided on the best method • concentrated our efforts

  26. Conclusion • Could not produce a fully functioning project • However • Learned valuable lessons in project management • Were the first group to use a ps2 mouse with their project • Will add this to the ece532 knowledge base
