Abstract :
In this paper, we present a tool devised for the automatic design and optimization of bioinspired visual processing models using reconfigurable hardware. We have focused on the simulation and optimization characteristics of our system. We also present a retina-like processing system based on a PCI-based FPGA board as an example. The whole system is intended for the design and analysis of real-time vision processing schemes. The top-down design path of our system involves a high level synthesis scheme while allowing different strategies for optimizing the system via the CodeSimulink codesign tool
