Flexible Architecture for Real-time Processing of Multiple Video Signals
arXiv: Image and Video Processing, 2019
Simultaneous processing of multiple video sources requires each pixel in a frame from a video source to be processed synchronously with the pixels at the same spatial positions in corresponding frames from the other video sources. However, simultaneous processing is challenging as corresponding frames from different video signals provided by multiple sources have time-varying delay because of the electrical and mechanical restrictions inside the video sources hardware that cause deviation in the corresponding frame rates. Researchers overcome the aforementioned challenges either by utilizing ready-made video processing systems or designing and implementing a custom system tailored to their specific application. These video processing systems lack flexibility in handling different applications requirements such as the required number of video sources and outputs, video standards, or frame rates of the input/output videos. In this paper, we present a design for a flexible simultaneous...

A DSP-based platform for rapid prototyping of real time image processing systems
2003
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.
Methods for Real Time Implementation of Image Processing Algorithms
UPB Scientific Bulletin, Series C: Electrical Engineering
For certain types of applications, such as videoclips processing, the image processing may not terminate within its deadline. The paper presents methods for implementation of image processing algorithms in real time. These methods involve using of graphical processing units (GPU) or digital signal processors (DSP). The illustrated methods may be applied for many image processing algorithms. In general, a denoising algorithm has two phases which are run sequentially: the first one determines the noisy pixels and the second applies a median filtering considering the only good pixels. In all such denoising algorithms, the first phase is run for multiple times depending on the noise power. The second phase also may be executed more than one time but this depends on the specific algorithm. The methods presented includes: 1) parallel processing using the GPU, 2) DSP implementation based on a Blackfin microcomputer with support of Visual DSP kernel (VDK) and 3) adjust the number of iterati...

Embedded low-level video processing for surveillance purposes
2010
This paper introduces an embedded architecture and the low-level video processing algorithms developed for an intelligent node that is a part of a distributed intelligent sensory network for surveillance purposes. In this paper, details of the architecture developed for this node are given, together with the low-level video processing algorithms used, as well as the results obtained after their implementation. The video board has been developed using two DSP processors for video processing tasks, as well as a FPGA dedicated to image capture (VGA size) and to dispatch them to the DSP processors. The low-level software includes acquisition, segmentation, labeling, tracking and classification of detected objects into three main categories: Person, Group and Luggage. Also, additional features are extracted from each object in the frame. The unit has to communicate the classification results and the main features obtained using XML streaming to upper levels, as well as the processed frames, using a JPEG stream. All these functionalities are currently running in the built prototypes.
An FPGA Implementation of Basic Video Processing and Timing Analysis for Real-Time Application
International journal of computing and digital system/International Journal of Computing and Digital Systems, 2024
For real-time video processing, the analysis time is a big challenge for researchers. Since digital images from cameras or any image sources can be quite large, it is common practice for researchers to divide these large images into smaller sub-images. The present study proposes a subsystem module to read and display the region of interest (ROI) of real-time video signals for static camera applications to prepare for background subtraction (BGS) algorithm operation. The proposed subsystem was developed using Verilog hardware description language (HDL), synthesized, and implemented in the ZYBO Z7-10 platform. An ROI background image of (360×360) resolution was selected to test the operation of the module in real time. The subsystem consists of five basic modules. Timing analysis was used to determine the real-time performance of the proposed subsystem. Multi-clock domain frequencies are used to manage the module operations, 445.5MHz, 222.75MHz, 148.5MHz, and 74.25MHz, which are six, three, two, and one-time pixel clock frequencies, respectively. These frequencies are chosen to perform five basic processing operations in real-time during the pixel period instant. Two strategies are selected to explain the effectiveness of choosing the trigger instant of the used clock signals on the system performance. The operation revealed that the latency of the proposed ROI reading subsystem was 13.468ns (one-pixel period), which matched the requirements for real-time applications.

The tools and techniques discussed in the paper include host software, FPGA interface IP (PCIe, USB 3.0, DRAM), high-level synthesis, RTL generation tools, synthesis automation as well as architectural concepts (e.g., nested pipelining), an architectural estimation tool, and verification methodology. The paper also discusses a specific use case to deploy the mentioned tools and techniques for hardware design of an optical flow algorithm.

A Java-Interface to Digital Cameras
In this article, lessons learned from the design of a Java interface to digital cameras are described. The interface allows programmers to interact with a FireWire digital camera directly from within their Java programs. Two types of applications were developed. The first uses the Java 2D API directly to display the information on screen. Java networking is used to transmit the images over a network. The second application implements a datasource for the Java Media Framework. Being integrated in the JMF, a wide range of features can be used, including sending images over the network with a real-time transfer protocol. Both types of applications are compared, and their performance is evaluated. The usability of Java and the Java Media Framework to control digital cameras, and the possibilities of integrating the results from this paper in an embedded system are discussed.

You should now feel pretty confident with the methods introduced, and you have room for many ideas. Great! We could keep going on expanding and explaining more on the other methods from OpenCV, but we are going to do something else in Chapter 4, as we switch to real-time video analysis, applying the knowledge learned during the previous chapters to the field of video streaming.
