Real-Time Image and Video Processing: From Research to Reality
Prof. Nasser Kehtarnavaz, Dept. of Electrical Engineering, University of Texas at Dallas, USA

Date: June 26, 2007
Time: 6:00 - 9:30 PM
Location: TBA

Abstract

    This tutorial provides a much-needed treatment on the implementation aspects of real-time image and video processing systems. It brings together in one place the guidelines, strategies and methodologies for taking an image or video-processing algorithm from a research environment to a working, real-time implementation on a resource constrained hardware platform. Carefully selected, relevant examples from the literature will be presented to illustrate the concepts. The participants will be introduced to a wide variety of strategies and tools, which they can then employ in designing a real-time image or video processing system of interest.


Topics

    The tutorial is based on a new lecture series book, authored by the presenter, entitled Real-Time Image and Video Processing: From Research to Reality. Its content consists of the following five parts:

  • Introductory concepts to real-time image and video processing
  • Algorithmic approaches (algorithm simplification strategies)
  • Hardware platforms (hardware architectures for image and video processing)
  • Software tools (software optimization strategies)
  • Roadmap

Objectives

  • Understand the issues involved in the process of transitioning an algorithm from a research development environment to a real-time constrained hardware platform.
  • Understand the concept of real-time as it pertains to image or video processing systems.
  • Appreciate the diversity of operations in an image/video processing system.
  • Identify and apply proven algorithmic simplification strategies to help streamline an image/video-processing algorithm to meet real-time constraints in an application of interest.
  • Select a hardware platform for the real-time implementation, which best suits the types of image/video processing operations in a given application.
  • Apply proven memory and software optimization strategies to maximize performance of the chosen hardware platform for real-time implementation.

Intended Audience

  • Engineers and scientists interested in taking an image or video processing algorithm from a development environment to an actual real-time implementation on a resource constrained hardware platform
  • Those who wish to pursue a career in image or video processing
  • Designers of image/video processing systems and products

Prerequisites

  • Basic knowledge of image processing
  • Background in electrical engineering or computer science

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
