Abstract

The iPACE-V1 (Image Processing Adaptive Computing Engine) is a portable, reconfiurable hardware platform, designed for real time, in-fied image processing applications. IPACE-V1 has ample memory and the capability of full or partial reconfiguration without the need of a host computer. This paper describes the architecture of the hardware board along with the software design environment. We shall also discuss a real-time background elimination application for video images implemented on iPACE-V1.

This work is sponsered by The Dayton Area Graduate Studies Institute (DAGSI) and The Air Force Research Laboratory(AFRL) Research Program under contract number IF-UC-00-07.
