Reconfigurable Tri-Colour RGB SD Card Bitmap Image File Writer

Field Programmable Gate Array is a popular choice to implement and test digital image processing algorithm due to its high speed and parallelism capability. The Altera DE2_TV sample project provides a basic real time digital video acquisition function. But this sample project unable to capture a static digital video frame to let the user to perform an analysis. Therefore this paper proposed a tri-colour channel red, green, blue SD card bitmap image file writer to capture the digital video frame and store the image in SD card. The propose architecture in this paper is able to enhance the DE2_TV sample project with the image capturing function.
