Abstract

In this paper, a novel architecture dedicated to image processing is presented. The most original aspect of the approach is the use of a System On Chip implemented in a FPGA. We show the main advantages of such a system based on a CMOS imaging device and a programmable chip. With its structure, the system proposes a high degree of versatility and allows the implementation of parallel image processing algorithms. As a result, a Window Of Interest (WOI) module is detailed.
