FPGA-based Architectures for Image Processing using High-Level Design

摘要

This paper presents the design and implementation of image processing applications on field programmable gate array (FPGA). To improve the implementation time, Xilinx AccelDSP, a software for generating hardware description language (HDL) from a high-level MATLAB description has been used. Two FPGA-based architectures for image processing have been proposed: Color Space Conversion and Edge Detection. The designs were implemented on Spartan 3A DSP and Virtex 5 devices. Obtained results are discussed and compared with others architectures.
