Seminar by Prof. Donald Bailey: "Embedded Image Processing: The Case For Field Programmable Gate Arrays"
Title: "Embedded Image Processing: The Case For Field Programmable Gate Arrays"
Speaker: Prof. Donald Bailey
Affiliation: Massey University
Abstract: Vision is increasingly being embedded within devices and products. The trend for increasing resolution and increasing complexity of applications places considerable demands on the image processing, especially for small, low-power embedded systems. It is shown that Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Technology is well suited to meet the computational demands of embedded imaging systems, especially for low-level image processing tasks. The differences between conventional software design and FPGA based design are outlined.
Biography: Professor Donald Bailey received the B.E. (Hons) degree in Electrical Engineering in 1982, and the PhD degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the...
