The Application and Prospects of SOPC Technology in Image-Processing

Abstract:

The real-time image-processing by SOPC technology on the hardware is the new direction of the image-processing technology. FPGA is the core component of the image-processing based on SOPC technology. The principles and characteristics of SOPC technology and the commonly image-processing algorithm are introduced in the first part. Then the traditional DSP image-processing technology is compared with the image-processing technology using FPGA chip embedding with the Nios II soft-core processor. As a result, a conclusion that the usage of the SOPC technology can increase the speed and working frequency of image-processing is derived. At last, the application status of SOPC technology used in image-processing is introduced. It can be concluded that the SOPC technology in real-time image-processing have the broad application prospect.
