Acceleration Framework for FPGA Implementation of OpenVX Graph Pipelines

OpenVX is an open standard for cross platform acceleration of computer vision applications. It was created to address the challenge of implementing efficient, portable and easy to use vision processing algorithms by separating application specification and implantation. It offers a set of basic, widely used vision kernels that accelerator vendors are supposed to provide. This work presents a framework for turning a high-level OpenVX graph specification into an efficient FPGA implementation.
