Imaging
Evaluation Kit, a full hardware and software solution for
image processing on DSP.
Ateme's kit is designed to support all sorts
of imaging applications, from real-time audio and video
compression through to shape recognition or as yet
experimental counting algorithms.
This kit is that it meets the requirements
of the first 4 stages of development for a new system or
product:
|
|
1.
Demonstration of the available technologies : Evaluation
of the DSP, along with evaluation of libraries available on
the market, by means of ready-to-use model applications
supplied with the kit.
2. Evaluation of the DSP platform in
terms of the target application: Development or porting
the end client application so the system's sizing and
performance characteristics can be as certained. This
evaluation is carried out by using the application development
kit with the existing card (saving months of work developing a
prototype card), which allows the software designer to avoid
getting preoccupied with hardware-related considerations.
3. Function prototype for the system:
To provide the prerequisites for function prototyping, once
the platform to opt for has been finalized, this image kit can
be integrated into the system (other cards, full application,
mechanism).
4. Short production runs: Before
contemplating any redesign work on the card (which Ateme can
carry out), to optimize production costs (or when the number
of system products doesn't justify it), the system can be
duplicated to meet time-to-market requirements.
The Imaging Evaluation Kit exists in two
versions.
- The standard version includes:
- a board with:
4 video analogue inputs and 1 video analogue output
1 audio analogue input and 1 audio analogue output
8 Mo of video RAM
1 C6211 DSP with a complete memory environment
1 50 000 gate FPGA customisable for the application
- driver for the DSP
- examples of video acquisition, restitution and
compression applications
- The complete version includes:
- the standard version
- PAL analogue camera with an integrated microphone
- speakers
- development environment for complete DSP (CCS v1.2)
