Designing an Embedded Video Processing Camera
This paper describes the design and implementation of a hybrid intelligent surveillance system that consists of an embedded system and a personal computer (PC)-based system. The embedded system performs some of the image processing tasks and sends the processed data to the PC. The PC tracks persons and recognizes two-person interactions by using a grayscale side view image sequence captured by a stationary camera. Based on our previous...

Four Golden Rules of Digital Video - White Paper
New digital video technology will alter consumers’ TV viewing habits by enabling them to view a wide-range of programming on demand. Internet Protocol enables this feature and allows Cable TV, IP-TV, Digital Terrestrial TV and Digital Satellite providers to offer new services that will create new revenue streams. It also will reinvigorate the business of many major telecommunications equipment manufacturers as they provide the necessary gear....

How to Build a 'Lean and Mean' Video Gateway Using 3G-324M over IP
Video-based applications in the mobile network are one of the main drivers for the deployment of 3G networks. Both the 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards organizations have adopted the 3G-324M protocol as the primary means of transporting conversational video over mobile networks. Traditional video gateways bridge between the representation of video in the mobile network (3G-324M) and in the IP network (video/voice over RTP).

Video and Image Processing Design Using FPGAs
In this paper, we will look at the trends in video and image processing that are forcing developers to re-examine the architectures they have used in the past. This paper will discuss the tradeoffs of different architectures and conclude with details and benchmarks for Altera's new solutions in this area. With low-cost FPGAs and structured ASICs, high-definition solutions can now be implemented for less than US$1.00 per 1,000 logic...

Fast-UXGA Frame Grabber Series
The Fast-UXGA frame grabber series is for users who anticipate a demand for extreme I/O requirements or higher bandwidth, complex image processing and real-time fast storage in a cost effective platform. The base Fast-UXGA, is a raw-length PCI board with two (four-mixed) UXGA analog conversion channels using Analog Device's AD9888. The front end data is formatted and preprocessed by a FPGA before being sent to the memory subsection, processor, GigE interfaces or other outputs. Finally, the Fast-UXGA interfaces to the host computer through a PCI-X or 4x PCIe interface for state-of-the-art data acquisition. Options include the addition of multiple (8) Serial ATA (SATA) 150 MB/sec interfaces for continuous high-speed data storage without the usual OS or host bus transfer delays.
