VisualApplets make image processing easy
Firstsight Vision has introduced software which uses VisualApplets from Silicon Software to make programming image processing applications easy.
A software tool has been made available from Firstsight Vision, which will greatly simplify the programming of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) for image processing applications VisualApplets from Silicon Software uses graphic data flow models generated from a combination of operators and filter modules from imaging processing libraries which are compiled into a loadable hardware applet

General purpose CMOS vision cameras
The uEyeLE series of extremely compact, low-cost cameras designed specifically for non-industrial image processing applications has been announced by Firstsight Vision.
VisualApplets is designed primarily for use by software programmers in industrial image processing, although a working knowledge of hardware programming can be beneficial.
VisualApplets is hardware- independent, allowing the user to readily re-use and port code from one hardware platform to another.
Applets created in this way can include arithmetic and morphological manipulation of pixels, logic for classification work and complex colour processing and compression.
This powerful too includes both synthesis and high-level simulation giving full control of the ultimate visual output from the application at all times.
Hardware applets can be displayed on microDisplay configuration software or integrated into applications via an SDK.
VisualApplets currently supports the microEnable III/-XXL hardware platform and runs under Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
