Keyword: real-time image processing; reconfigurable computing technology; reconfigurable macro processor model; template matching; image zone labeling;
Abstract: The concept and advantage of reconfigurable technology is introduced. A kind of processor architecture of reconfigurable macro processor (RMP) model based on FPGA array and DSP is put forward and has been implemented.Two image algorithms are developed: template-based automatic target recognition and zone labeling. One is estimating for motion direction in the infrared image background, another is line picking-up algorithm based on image zone labeling and phase grouping technique. It is a kind of "hardware" function that can be called by the DSP in high-level algorithm.It is also a kind of hardware algorithm of the DSP. The results of experiments show the reconfigurable computing technology based on RMP is an ideal accelerating means to deal with the high-speed image processing tasks. High real time performance is obtained in our two applications on RMP.
