Unlock the Power of Embedded Vision: FPGA Solutions from Sensor to Screen

​​​

Whether you’re new to vision systems or looking to sharpen your FPGA expertise, this session will equip you with practical insights and real-world examples you can apply immediately.

​

What we'll explore together:

​

• How Do Image Sensors Actually Work?

• Get to grips with the core principles behind image sensors and understand the magic that turns photons into digital data.

• Sensor Types Demystified

• CIS vs CCD, rolling vs global shutter, colour vs greyscale — we’ll break down the differences and help you choose the right sensor for your application.

• Connecting the Dots: Interfacing with Sensors & Cameras

• From hardware interfaces to internal FPGA connections, learn how to bridge the gap between your vision input and your processing pipeline.

• Inside the FPGA: Architecture & IP Blocks

• Discover how to move, buffer, and manipulate pixels. We’ll explore key concepts like frame buffering, colour space conversion, and image filters — and show how to build them into scalable FPGA designs.

• Hands-On Example: Real FPGA Vision Solution

• We’ll wrap up with a deep technical dive into a real-world embedded vision pipeline, powered by the AMD Kintex™ 7 FPGA. See how it all comes together in practice.

​

All examples will be presented using AMD Vivado™ Design Suite version 2024.1.
