Accelerated High-Level Synthesis Feature Detection for FPGAs Using HiFlipVX

In many application areas, computer vision is needed to detect the surrounding of moving objects. The importance of shortening the development time has grown with the increasing number of intelligent devices and cyber-physical systems. At the same time, a

Preface

This book is the final outcome of the Towards Ubiquitous Low-Power Image Processing Platforms (TULIPP) project which was funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 research program (grant agreement #688403) and ran from 2016 to 2019. A key objective of TULIPP was to carve out a path towards increased reuse and collaboration within industrial high-performance embedded image processing in Europe. This is not a simple task as future gains—such as those achieved through reuse and collaboration—are typically secondary to the immediate concern of getting products to the market. Within the TULIPP project, we approached this issue along four fronts, and we have dedicated a part of this book to each approach. First, Part I summarizes the key requirements of industrial high-performance, low-power image processing systems which then lead to the definition of the foundational TULIPP Reference Platform (TRP). We then proposed an embedded platform—called the TULIPP Starter Kit (TSK)—which provides a physical and reusable instance of the foundational TRP, and Part
