Xilinx, Inc. and its Alliance Program Members, Silicon Software and Sensor to Image, will demonstrate the All Programmable embedded solutions for machine-vision applications at The Vision Show and Conference 2014 on 15-17 April at the Hynes Convention Center (booth 204) in Boston, Massachusetts (US). All three companies will showcase a series of comprehensive embedded machine-vision solutions using the Zynq All Programmable system-on-chip (SoC), demonstrate high-bandwidth communications protocols and accelerated development for faster time to market.
Xilinx will provide demonstrations on the following topics:
• Accelerated machine-vision development using embedded visual applets (Courtesy of Silicon Software): This demonstration allows users to witness an embedded real-time image-processing implementation designed in minutes with the Visual Applets’ graphical user interface (GUI). From a list of high-performance vision operators, users can simulate and target their design seamlessly onto a Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC without writing a single line of code.
• High-bandwidth machine-vision protocols GigEVision and CoaXPress (Courtesy of Sensor to Image): This demonstration showcases two video streams transferred with different high-speed protocols for machine-vision cameras and frame grabbers enabled by Xilinx 7 Series FPGAs and Zynq SoC devices. Sensor to Image supports GigEVision 2.0, CoaXPress IPs and software stacks that enable video transfer rates greater than 10 gigabits per second (Gb/s).
In addition to Silicon Software and Sensor to Image, two additional Xilinx Alliance Program members will showcase the following Xilinx-based technology in their own booths:
• Micro/sys (booth 628) will showcase a Xilinx 7 Series Kintex field-programmable gate array (FPGA) off-loading vision processing from the CPU on Micro/sys single-board computers.
• National Instruments (booth 210) will demonstrate FPGA image processing with precise image capture and a Marble Sorting demo with vision and motion integration.
Xilinx technical presentations at The Vision Show will include:
• Tuesday, 15 April at 11:00 a.m. “Targeting Open CV Functions into Embedded Vision Applications” by Stephen Neuendorffer, principal engineer at Xilinx
• Wednesday, 16 April at 11 a.m. “Machine Vision Applications with Xilinx and Silicon Software” by Dr. Klaus-Henning Noffz, chief executive officer, Silicon Software, and Yvonne Lin, machine vision marketing manager, Xilinx
