Abstract :
This paper presents an embedded board for rapid prototyping of real time image processing algorithms. The platform is based on the Texas Instruments´ TMS320C6415, a new digital signal processor designed for high performance applications. Any analog video source, such as a camcorder or a VCR, can be used as an input signal. The images are captured, processed in real time and then displayed in a window of a graphical user interface. Both a mouse and a keyboard are available to interact with the system. A software environment is also provided thus allowing the rapid implementation of the algorithms in high-level language.
