Formalisation of a Visual Environment for Real Time Image Processing in Hardware (VERTIPH)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the suitability of three types of language for the implementation of image processing algorithms on FPGAs; Hardware Description Languages, Parallel Language Extensions, Serial Language Extensions. We discuss the requirements for a language for this purpose and identify the weaknesses of four specific languages, VHDL, SystemC, Handel-C, SA-C and Match. Finally, we propose VERTIPH, a new multiple-view visual language that should avoid these weaknesses.

A Visual Environment for Real-Time Image Processing in Hardware (VERTIPH)
Real-time video processing is an image-processing application that is ideally suited to implementation on FPGAs. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of a number of existing languages and hardware compilers that have been developed for specifying image processing algorithms on FPGAs.We propose VERTIPH, a newmultiple-view visual language that avoids the weaknesses we identify. A VERTIPH desig...

متن کاملLossless Microarray Image Compression by Hardware Array Compactor
Microarray technology is a new and powerful tool for concurrent monitoring of large number of genes expressions. Each microarray experiment produces hundreds of images. Each digital image requires a large storage space. Hence, real-time processing of these images and transmission of them necessitates efficient and custom-made lossless compression schemes. In this paper, we offer a new archi...
