IMAGE PROCESSING
AND RECOGNITION
Xilinx Automotive FPGAs are being utilized as key components in the deployment of
vision-based Driver Assistance Systems:
• Superior computational performance to support pixel-level image processing
• Scalability for multiple feature bundling and customization on a single platform
• Flexibility for time-to-market and processing algorithm evolutionary enhancement
Xilinx Automotive and its alliance members offer a combination of image processing IP
solutions and design services tailored to automotive market needs:
• Productized IP cores provide fundamental image processing functionality and serve as
building blocks for customer-implemented designs
• Specialized design services leverage FPGA design experts with image processing experience
for efficient design and implementation efforts (turn-key or collaborative)
• Application-specific development boards for proof-of-concept implementation
DDC's Automotive VADR module provides an
FPGA-based image processing platform with the
ability to record raw roadway video data in the field
for laboratory evaluation.
