Modificación automática de arquitecturas de módulos hardware de procesado de imágenes.

This paper describes the use of model-based design flow in the development of self-configurable image processing blocks over FPGAs. For this, some generic hardware architectures has been created and modified using a novel software proceeding using the specific characteristics of the different processing algorithms. This aspect, in addition to others configuration options of the blocks, allows the adjustment the FPGA resources consumption for a specific application. Also the automatic reconfiguration process is analyzed for a generic convolution block making some architectural comparisons over a Spartan-6 LX45 FPGA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
