Portland, Oregon: September 22, 2010 — At processing rates of up to 306 mega complex pixels per second, the new OptNgn 2D-FFT library elements are the perfect choice for inexpensive, low power sensor data stream processing of convolution and filtering-based applications from video, medical, radar/sonar, and scientific-based real-time sources.

2D-FFT Usage and Examples

The library elements, can process thousands of frames per second, which makes them particularly useful in convolution coprocessor based object finding, such as a streaming FFT-Filter-IFFT component that finds matches between the input stream and a target object library.
