Abstract Background MathWorks has provided an invaluable tool for designing and implementing FPGAs. MATLAB HDL coder serves a dual purpose, providing quick proof of concept on the one hand g easy-to-use platform testing verification other. It main drawbacks over these advantages; it generates code that is not optimized both area frequency. Results In this paper, we provide technique optimizing ...

Recently, Cognitive Radio has been proposed as a promising technology to improve spectrum utilization. A highly flexible SDR( Software defined Radio) system needs to configure each of its blocks to give optimum performance over the available bandwidth. Present work discusses an approach for rate adaptive coder yielding minimum BER (Bit error rate) for emergency services over cognitive radio. Th...

The increasing complexity of image codecs and the time to market requires a high level design. Caltrop Actor Language (CAL) is a domain-specific language that provides useful abstractions for dataflow programming with actor. It has been chosen by the ISO/IEC standardization organization in the new MPEG standard called Reconfigurable Video Coding. This framework is adopted to design a multitude ...

Several image processing applications (edge detection, feature extraction, tracking, pattern recognition ...) are so computationally and software solutions cannot meet the real-time requirements [1, 2]. In this work, we highlight a new and simple process to implement a real time edge detection enhancement algorithm on heterogeneous platforms. The implemented design extracts discontinuities in i...

The HDL Code Generation step in MATLAB generates HDL code from the fixed-point Matlab code. One can generate either VHDL or Verilog code that implements the Matlab design. In addition to generating synthesizable HDL code, HDL CoderTM also generates various reports, including a traceability report that helps to navigate between the Matlab code and the generated HDL code. It also shows resource u...
