Modular Video Streaming on a Reconfigurable Platform

We present an efficient implementation of a video streaming application on a well suited reconfigurable platform, the Erlangen Slot Machine (ESM) for partial reconfiguration. The architecture of the video streaming is investigated to derive the requirements that should be fulfilled by a viable partial reconfigurable platform. Various edge detection methods are implemented on the same structure based upon three modules: frame capture, frame processing and frame rendering. The frame processing modules perform different edge detection operations.
