Abstract

When image and video processing applications are moving towards consumer markets, there exists clearly the need of replacing PC-based software solutions with embedded processor. In this context, the enhanced characteristics of the modern FPGA devices make possible to build whole systems with improved performance and reduced costs. In this paper we describe a platform for developing fully FPGA-based embedded systems designed for image and video processing applications. It is a hardware/software system which makes the design process easier and faster. It also makes feasible the interaction with the user and the run-time customization of processing algorithms.
