Abstract
In this paper, we present a programmable prototyping system for hardware implementation of image processing algorithms. The system is composed of a PC, reconfigurable prototyping card with 2 FPGA circuits, microcontroller and memory circuit board. Programmable devices are used for implementing the designed algorithm and the interface circuit for communication between the implemented design and the PC. The software for an automatic interface circuit synthesis allows users to design and implement digital circuits without specific knowledge of the structural details of the system. The implementation of the image processing chain is described to demonstrate the operation of the programmable system.
