General Digital Image Processing Circuit and its Applications

Abstract

In this paper, the design and architecture of general digital image processing circuit (GFDIPC) based on a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA processor is presented. The GFDIPC applications on thermal imaging, image fusion, real-time video stabilization and time-delay test for image processing system are described. The design of FPGA in each application follows the principle of functional modularity, pipeline processing and parallel computing, which brings FPGA high efficiency and high real-time performance.
