Design for Embedded Image Processing on FPGAs Donald G. Bailey
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell

FPGAs can accelerate some image processing algorithms, while reducing latency and jitter compared to using CPUs. A big selling point for smart cameras is that, unlike embedded or PC-host systems, they do not have moving parts, making them more robust for industrial applications that require long lifetimes with little to no maintenance. All stages of the design workflow from modeling and simulation, converting the design from a floating-point to a fixed-point representation, automatically generating C code or VHDL/Verilog code for deployment onto DSP or FPGA hardware and verifying the design through real-time simulation on the hardware. NEC Electronics introduced the EMMA3TMSL/P system-on-chip (SoC) image-processing solution. The latest designs offer most, if not all, of the functionality of a personal computer, including a full (and familiar) operating system (OS), full image-processing library (or libraries), multimegapixel sensors, low latency for industrial applications and much more. 4DSP press release and pictures about the new VID300 PMC expansion card created developers of imaging applications requiring high performance video image and compression FPGA boards. Low-cost dual Altera Cyclone III devices are closely coupled to fast on-board DRAM memory resources, providing the most efficient hardware compression available for the embedded image signal processing market. The LabVIEW FPGA Module for Spartan 3E XUP was developed to enable educators to use LabVIEW FPGA to teach digital and embedded design concepts. He has also been responsible for the development of various training courses offered by The MathWorks, including “MATLAB® for Image Processing”. Design hardware in LabVIEW, download and run with interactive LabVIEW Front Panels, Filters, Fourier Transform, Adaptive Filters, FIR, IIR, DTMF and Sample Rate Conversion. These lessons are designed for the textbook:Embedded Signal Processing with the Micro Signal Architecture by Woon-Seng Gan. ACROSSER ACS-N5630FL, ACS-N5430FL, ACS-N0631 Embedded Console Servers.
