“…The design of custom processing systems for those platforms is not supported by high-level visual design tools, and require specific design using the conventional HDL-based design flow supported by the FPGA development tools. Existing design systems based on visual data-flow design entry are technology dependent and not specifically designed for this domain of application (Xilinx System Generator [5,3]), while others specifically designed for image processing use close and proprietary design environments [1,2].…”

Real-time image processing is a computational intensive task with applications in various engineering fields. In several image processing applications, a significant amount of computing power is committed to image enhancement operations, basic segmentation and identification of regions of interest for further analysis. Such type of front-end processing can be done efficiently by custom data-flow processors closely coupled to an image sensor. This paper proposes a visual design environment to support the high-level design of custom data-flow processors for real-time image analysis applications. The tool is embedded in Matlab/Simulink, and the system modeling is done using a library of blocks that implement common low-level image processing operations. Functional validation is performed efficiently by the simulation engine of Simulink in a frame by frame basis, using the functions provided by the image processing toolbox in Matlab. The automatic generation of a synthesizable RTL model guarantees a logic implementation of the system that complies to the high-level model validated, under constraints imposed by the user and the target reconfigurable device.

Abstract. This paper shows how the Xilinx System Generator can be used to develop hardware-based computer vision algorithms from a system level approach without the necessity of in-depth knowing neither a hardware description language nor the particulars of the hardware platform. Also, it is demonstrated that Simulink can be employed as a co-design and co-simulation platform for rapid prototyping of Computer Vision HW/SW systems. To do this, a library of optimized image processing components based on XSG and Matlab has been developed and tested in hybrid schemes including HW and SW modules. As a part of the testing, results of the prototyping and co-simulation of a HW/SW Computer Vision System for the automated inspection of tangerine segments are presented.
