| Popis: | This paper introduces a concept of an adaptable (or polymorph) architecture named Free-TIV computer (FREE architecture dedicated to image processing and vision). This computer architecture for vision applications has the capability to adapt its internal structure to the run-time requirements for vision algorithms. Such a concept allows one to reuse the same available computation resources in different applications, and thus to develop a fast and reliable, dedicated or not, computer at a low cost.An implementation of the FreeTIV is proposed as well. FreeTIV is a heterogeneous run-time reconfigurable parallel computer encompassing several processing modules. Different module interconnections are provided by a message passing router called RouTIV (a router dedicated to image processing and vision). RouTIV adapts FreeTIV module interconnections to the data movements of vision algorithms. Some details related to the implementation of RouTIV with Xilinx Virtex 300 are provided. An example of an image matching algorithm running on FreeTIV is provided. |
