Abstract

In the present paper construction of a controller is described, which is used to control the RETINA image processing platform. The 32-bit RETINA card is dedicated to be used for image acquisition, processing and analysis. The module resources include Video ADC, Virtex FPGA device, floating point Motorola 96002 DSP and PCI Master interface, what enables the execution of all the operations in real-time. Controller is the main control centre for the module, supervising the modes and phases of its operation, and it is also used as a arbiter for the module´s communication resources.
