As past presentations and documentation have hopefully already made clear, Xilinx views its Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoCs (combining "soft" FPGA fabric and dual ARM Cortex-A9 "hard" cores) as ideal processing platforms for implementing embedded vision designs. For more on the topic, specifically as it relates to OpenCV (the open-source computer vision library), check out the free online webinar "How to Accelerate OpenCV Applications with Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC using Vivado HLS Video Libraries," to be held on August 28 at 8AM PT (11AM ET) in partnership with TechOnline. From the event home page:
In this presentation, you will learn how to rapidly accelerate real-time computer vision algorithms and integrate them into your designs using Xilinx Zynq®7000 All Programmable SoC devices. Step-by-step examples will show you how to build and integrate custom video accelerators by migrating functions from the OpenCV library or your own custom video algorithms into your embedded design using guaranteed-to-synthesize HLS (High-level Synthesis) video libraries; the Vivado® HLS compiler; and the Vivado IP Integrator. This design flow allows you to implement real-time embedded computer-vision algorithms using a seamless combination of high-performance, low-power, on-chip programmable hardware for high-data-rate (full HD) pixel-processing tasks and software-programmable ARM processor cores for frame-based processing tasks that operate at lower data rates.
Pre-registration is required. For more information, check out the event home page.
