Design for Embedded Image Processing on FPGAs 2nd Edition

Bridge the gap between software and hardware with this foundational design reference

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuits designed so that configuration can take place. Circuits of this kind play an integral role in processing images, with FPGAs increasingly embedded in digital cameras and other devices that produce visual data outputs for subsequent realization and compression. These uses of FPGAs require specific design processes designed to mediate smoothly between hardware and processing algorithm.

Design for Embedded Image Processing on FPGAs 2nd Edition provides a comprehensive overview of these processes and their applications in embedded image processing. Beginning with an overview of image processing and its core principles, this book discusses specific design and computation techniques, with a smooth progression from the foundations of the field to its advanced principles.

Readers of the second edition of Design for Embedded Image Processing on FPGAs 2nd Edition will also find:

• Detailed discussion of image processing techniques including point operations, histogram operations, linear transformations, and more
• New chapters covering Deep Learning algorithms and Image and Video Coding
• Example applications throughout to ground principles and demonstrate techniques

Design for Embedded Image Processing on FPGAs 2nd Edition is ideal for engineers and academics working in the field of Image Processing, as well as graduate students studying Embedded Systems Engineering, Image Processing, Digital Design, and related fields.
