The Platform of Image Acquisition and Processing System Based on DSP and FPGA

This paper presents an embedded platform for image acquisition and processing. It is based on the Texas Instruments' TMS320C6416T, a high performance digital signal processor and Altera's FPGA EP3C25F324, offering 594Kbits embedded memory, which is enough to design a large FIFO (first in first out) on chip. The digital image data is transferred into FPGA, after pre-processing, it is transferred into DSP6416 by the interface of FIFO in FPGA and DSP6416 EMIF. Then the image data is processed in DSP by the real time algorithms. And this system provides the LVDS interface for displaying the real-time image and CAN interface for communication with other devices. Experiments results show that this system is useful and powerful.
