Embedded Vision Applications Enabled by Embedded FPGA

As processors become more powerful and increasingly miniaturized, Embedded Vision systems continue to expand into new application domains. These include industrial automation, automotive systems, drones, robotics, and portable devices. Thanks to advances in Embedded Computing and AI, applications that once required stationary and power-hungry PCs can now operate at the edge, integrated directly into vehicles, mobile platforms, or compact devices.

Real-Time Image Processing IPs

In many embedded vision systems, image quality and bandwidth efficiency are critical. Gidel provides a range of hardware-based Compression IPs optimized for real-time embedded imaging:

• JPEG Encoder: High-performance standard compression.
• Lossless Compression: Perfect preservation of raw data.
• Quality+ Compression: Efficient data reduction without compromising image fidelity.
• HDR IP: Real-time contrast enhancement for dynamic lighting conditions.

Design Constraints in Embedded FPGA Systems

Designers of embedded vision systems face strict constraints that drive system architecture decisions:

• SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power): Keeping systems compact and battery-friendly.
• Thermal Efficiency: Managing heat in enclosed spaces.
• Bandwidth: Handling massive data flows between internal hardware and the cloud.
