Xilinx Demonstrating Targeted Design Platforms for Motor Control, Ethernet, Automotive and Extensible Processing Platform at Embedded World, Nuremberg 2011 The Targeted Design Platform for Motor Control is based on the Xilinx(R) Spartan(R)-6 FPGA SP605 Evaluation Kit and provides all the building blocks needed to begin prototyping an intelligent drive control system. Library enables design of FPGA-based image-processing system. In addition to these design characteristics, Anderson indicates that an embedded design engineer must also be comfortable with the concepts of thermal loading, the MIPS/watts ratio, an intimate knowledge of the target hardware to the register .. Devices such as CPLDs and FPGAs are targeted in this design process. DSP and Microprocessor Algorithms Refactored for FPGA Acceleration. DASIP 2012 : Conference on Design and Architectures for Signal and Image Processing. The latest designs offer most, if not all, of the functionality of a personal computer, including a full (and familiar) operating system (OS), full image-processing library (or libraries), multimegapixel sensors, low latency for industrial applications and much more. MARCH 31, 2009--A library of FPGA image-processing elements is available for developing custom FPGA-based video and imaging systems. Impulse Launches FPGA Image Processing Design Services. Anderson received his PhD in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Wyoming with a research emphasis in image processing in 2004. A big selling point for smart cameras is that, unlike embedded or PC-host systems, they do not have moving parts, making them more robust for industrial applications that require long lifetimes with little to no maintenance.
