CoProVision: Automatic Co-Processor Generation for Vision Applications

Post date: Feb 20, 2012 2:17:46 PM

CpProVision is part of an on going collaboration between Chair for Embedded Systems (CES) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany and VISpro SEECS-NUST. The project aims to propose schemes for automatic generation of high-performance hardware accelerators and coprocessors specially targeted for the domain of Digital Image Processing and Computer Vision. This shall enable generation of performance-efficient hardware accelerators that can be reconfigured on FPGAs to expedite different image processing and computer vision applications such as stereo reconstruction, object tracking, video registration and geometrical warping. As an example a co-processor speeding-up “Feature Matching” can be instantiated in an application specific processor performing stereo reconstruction to accelerate the overall design.
