Hardware and software co-simulation platform for convolution or correlation based image processing algorithms

Software implementation of image processing algorithms in which convolution or correlation is applied is too slow to be real-time. As long as the system design gets larger, it should be partitioned into two parts: software and hardware. In order to achieve real time performance, it is essential to m...
