Abstract

The experiment results show that a high performance low cost system may be obtained by adapting algorithms and hardware to each other especially for the vision system. Thus configurable and flexible parallel architecture are the key concepts to design vision system. In addition the configurable and flexible parallel vision system provides a platform for developing application and experimenting with high level image processing algorithms. FPGA board permits one to explore low level image processing and high level image processing accelerator. With VHDL language, the system permits also to narrow the gap between software developer and hardware designer
