Iris recognition on FPGA

Dear All, Good day. I want to implement iris circle detection algorithm. Once the iris circle is detected, the detected image will be compressed using jpeg2000 and sent to host using USB i...

I'd like to suggest the SoC chip for this. Run Linux on it and mass storage, USB, and Ethernet software are taken care of. Make sure to put in enough memory. The NEON SIMD instructions on the ARM cores look suitable for JPEG encoding. I'm no expert on that so do your homework. The DSPs in the FPGA might also work, but NEON is probably easier to get working. The ARM cores in an SoC run much faster than FPGA fabric as well.
