FPGA Image Processing (IP) Development Kit
ProcVision - Gidel
Gidel’s Vision Pro Development Kit is an optimal solution for developing,
validating, demonstrating and evaluating Image Processing (IP) and
pipeline designs on FPGA.
The suite is designed to provide a complete and convenient envelop enabling
the developer to focus strictly on the proprietary image processing
design. The entire Vision Pro flow is within a single FPGA, independent
of the final target application(s). The Vision Pro flow is composed
of a pipeline that streams simulated data to the user image processing
design under test (DUT) and then captures the design’s output stream
for displaying, storing, analysis and/or co-processing on host software.
The entire process is performed on a single FPGA without the need for
additional peripheral connectivity or tools.
Vision Pro suite is plug-and-play enabling the developer to begin at once
the IP design development and validation. A simple design example provides
the developer immediate hands-on familiarization with the system
flow and supporting tools. The final design can be ported to any Intel
FPGA device or other vendors’ devices (FPGA or ASIC) by replacing basic
libraries. To significantly reduce compilation time, initial design development
may be on a small FPGA device and later compiled for the target
device(s). The target implementation may use any FPGA board. For a full
Imaging/Vision system solution, Gidel offers a number of off-the-shelf
grabbers and FPGA accelerators that are designed to utilize these image
processing blocks and Gidel Imaging Library (GIL).
