Hardware/software co-design for real time embedded image processing: A case study

Many image processing applications need real time performance, while having restrictions of size, weight and power consumption. These include a wide range of embedded systems from remote sensing applications to mobile phones. FPGA-based solutions are common for these applications, their main drawbac...

The goal of the methodology is to achieve a real-time embedded solution using hardware acceleration, but with development time similar to software projects.
