Acceleration of image processing using FPGAs
P.Zemcik, O. Fucik
Technical University Brno
-
Overview of the current state of the art in image and signal processing -
general CPUs, DSPs, specialised hardware, programmable logic
-
Discussion of the strong and weak points of different approaches to image and
signal processing from the view point of computational speed and
price/complexity
-
Discussion of possibilites to combine strong points of DSPs and programmable
logic (FPGAs) and possibilities to dynamically reconfigure the FPGAs
-
Development of software to exploit the dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs to
achieve reasonable efficiency while maintaining the algorithm development
