This two-page paper briefly describes the acceleration of an infrared automatic target recognition (IR ATR) application with an FPGA co-processor board, a Giga Operations' G900 board. The application of the IR ATR program which contains multiple rounds of computation is to locate and identify ground vehicles based on a single IR image frame. An FPGA design is developed for the first round which is the most time consuming part. The design explores parallelism at several levels. The achieved performance is reported and analyzed at the end.
