Abstract

FPGA implementations of complex image processing
algorithms are often limited in flexibility and by the amount of
available chip resources. This article presents a hardware design
of an adaptive self-reconfigurable video processing platform.
Dynamic self-reconfiguration increases a design’s flexibility and
enables the use of FPGAs with a fraction of resources actually
needed by the algorithm. As a case study two implementation
approaches of a complex frame-grabber with a set of dynamically
reconfigurable kernels are evaluated and further improvements
are outlined.
