Abstract

In this paper, we present the installation of a hardware platform for video acquisition and restitution in real-time using a mixed software/hardware environment. The hardware platform is based on the Altera STRATIX development board. Besides, it is completed with a camera interface for acquisition and a VGA interface for restitution. The core of the system incorporates an IP module (intellectual property) of Altera Nios processor in the Quartus II development tool of Altera. During this study, we have used video sequences, which are acquired, processed and visualized while respecting temporal constraints.
