Xilinx Demonstrations – Booth #204
- 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 user-friendly 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 and CoaXPress IPs and software stacks that enable video transfer rates over 10Gb per second.

About Xilinx Smarter Vision Solutions
Xilinx Smarter Vision solutions include a broad portfolio of building blocks for smarter systems, called SmartCORE™ IP. The SmartCORE IP portfolio, developed by both Xilinx and its ecosystem, includes both hardware IP targeting All Programmable logic and software IP developed for high performance ARM® processors. SmartCORE IP can be rapidly integrated via the Vivado® IPI (IP Integrator). Additionally, new IP can be generated from: C, C++ or SystemC with Vivado HLS (high-level synthesis), and now includes industry standard OpenCV libraries, which are supported by popular operating systems and software development environments. A wide range of design kits further accelerate design productivity for smarter systems design.
Xilinx Smarter Vision solutions leverage Xilinx FPGAs, 3D ICs and Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoCs. Xilinx All Programmable SoCs are considered the ideal platform for designers to rapidly deliver highly integrated solutions with real-time pixel processing in programmable logic with ARM processor-based analytics for smarter video broadcast, machine vision and immersive displays.
