Abstract

The goal of the project is to set up tools enabling to speed-up design of systems
using hardware acceleration of image and video processing algorithms, with the
intention to facilitate industrial application of the advanced, computationally
intensive algorithms in this field. Libraries of hardware and DSP macros of
selected algorithms and their simulation equivalents will be developed in the
project. A possibility to exploit dynamic FPGA reconfiguration for implementation
of algorithms will be investigated - building on the results of the RECONF
project, previously solved in the laboratory of proposer. An architecture of
a multi-level environment for rapid application design and configuration, using
these libraries, will also be examined. This environment, should, at the lower
level, use relatively simple scripting language and, at the higher level, some
rapid development tool. We assume the Matlab/Simulink environemnt and/or the
high-level HW-oriented languages (HandelC, SystemC).
