Image processing system using programmable logic device
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230419697A1) describes an electronic system comprising an edge programmable logic device (PLD) with programmable logic blocks (PLBs) to implement an image engine preprocessor and an image engine. The system receives raw imagery from an imaging module, generates engine-quality imagery, and creates image tags associated with the generated imagery. The engine-quality imagery may have lower quality characteristics compared to the raw imagery or human-quality processed versions.
Furthermore, the system can perform various image processing tasks such as resolution conversion, color correction, and exposure control to generate engine-quality imagery. The generated image tags can include object presence, bounding box, and feature status tags. The system can provide these image tags and imagery to a controller or memory, enabling functions like user authentication, power management based on image analysis, and system responses based on the generated imagery and tags. Additionally, the image engine of the edge PLD can be trained using a set of training images to generate the image tags effectively. Overall, the electronic system described in the patent application offers advanced image processing capabilities and intelligent system responses based on the generated imagery and tags.
