How to develop Image processing Algorithms using FPGA???

[electroM]

I am familiar with VHDL and can develop basic digital circuit with it.
but how to develop Image Processing, DSP algorithms or Audio-Video codecs with it:?:

You can that tool in your icon to generate vhdl code. It is expensive but if you are good
In it then it is probebly the easiest target for you. There are lots of other options
Ofcourse.

If you are good with VHDL, then dont use HDL coder. its ok if you dont mind using a huge expensive FPGA, or sticking with small algorithms, but when you need to custom build the algorithm, its good for testbenching.

But from where to start for Image Processing, DSP algorithms or Audio-Video codecs in VHDL.

What r the basics from which I should start??

Considering little or no prier knowledge of Image Processing, DSP algorithms or Audio-Video codecs..

Start with your matlab model. Get that working. Generate good test vectors you can then use on your HDL. Then code the matlab reference design in HDL (by hand or via HDL coder). The key is getting the model right - without the model, how do you know if the VHDL works?

Matlab is to heavy to master in many blocksets.

& I THINK instead of using Cross platform software chain it is easy to use application specific software.

i see - what about VIVADO HLS - they say this is the kind of applications that are using it for.

It still requires hardware and algorithm conprehension. SO without a baseline model you'll have no idea what you're even doing.

"no pain, no gain" ???

Thank you aruipksni & TrickyDicky for help.

Are the any books or any other source to build basics of Image Processing??

i googled you a book. look interesting mabee i will read it also.
