RTL-Design, sowie ein DDR-SDRAM Speichercontroller und eine externe Speicher-Schnittstelle und dazugehörige Simulationsmodelle
Tool-Design im Bereich der globalen Flusskontrolle
Spezifikation der Anforderungen für Applikationen im Bereich Stream-Processing, insbesondere Echtzeitverarbeitung von digitalem hochauflösendem Video (Kino)
Entwicklung und Integration eines Demonstrators auf Basis der im FlexFilm-Projekt entwickelten Hardware
Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Computergraphik
Im Rahmen einer neuen Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Computergraphik sollen komplexe Bildverarbeitungsalgorithmen in Hardware implementiert werden, so dass eine Echtzeitverarbeitung in hoher Qualität direkt von der Kamera möglich ist. Dazu wird das im FlexFilm-Projekt entwickelte Multi-FPGA-Board sowie die für dieses Board entwickelte IP-Bibliothek eingesetzt bzw. erweitert. Mögliche Algorithmen sind zunächst:
Smartes Blue-Screening mit erweiterten Möglichkeiten, in dem ein speziell präpariertes Objekt (z.B. Kleidung) perspektivisch korrekt erkannt und mit einer neuen Textur versehen wird. Dies beinhaltet u.A. die Extraktion des 3D-Objektmodells aus der laufenden Sequenz
Tracking von Positionen und Orientierung beliebiger Objekte
