Digital Video Processing for Engineers: A Foundation for Embedded Systems Design (Paperback)

Any device or system with imaging functionality requires a digital video processing solution as part of its embedded system design. Engineers need a practical guide to technology basics and design fundamentals that enables them to deliver the video component of complex projects.

This book introduces core video processing concepts and standards, and delivers practical how-to guidance for engineers embarking on digital video processing designs using FPGAs. It covers the basic topics of video processing in a pictorial, intuitive manner with minimal use of mathematics. Key outcomes and benefits of this book for users include: understanding the concepts and challenges of modern video systems; architect video systems at a system level; reference design examples to implement your own high definition video processing chain; understand implementation trade-offs in video system designs.

. Video processing is a must-have skill for engineers working on products and solutions for rapidly growing markets such as video surveillance, video conferencing, medical imaging, military imaging, digital broadcast equipment, displays and countless consumer electronics applications.

. This book is for engineers who need to develop video systems in their designs but who do not have video processing experience. It introduces the fundamental video processing concepts and skills in enough detail to get the job done, supported by reference designs, step-by-step FPGA- examples, core standards and systems architecture maps.

. Written by lead engineers at Altera Corp, a top-three global developer of digital video chip (FPGA) technology.

任何具有影像功能的設備或系統在其嵌入式系統設計中都需要數位視訊處理解決方案。工程師需要一本實用的技術基礎和設計原則指南，以便能夠在複雜項目中交付視訊組件。

本書介紹了核心視訊處理概念和標準，並提供了實用的指導，供工程師們使用FPGA進行數位視訊處理設計。它以圖像化、直觀的方式介紹了視訊處理的基本主題，並極少使用數學。本書對用戶的主要成果和好處包括：了解現代視訊系統的概念和挑戰；在系統層面上設計視訊系統；參考設計示例以實現自己的高清視訊處理鏈；了解視訊系統設計中的實現權衡。

視訊處理是工程師在快速增長的市場上開發產品和解決方案時必備的技能，這些市場包括視訊監控、視訊會議、醫學影像、軍事影像、數位廣播設備、顯示器和無數的消費電子應用。

本書適用於需要在設計中開發視訊系統但沒有視訊處理經驗的工程師。它以足夠的細節介紹了基本的視訊處理概念和技能，並提供了參考設計、逐步的FPGA示例、核心標準和系統架構圖的支持。

本書由Altera Corp的首席工程師撰寫，該公司是全球前三大數位視訊晶片（FPGA）技術開發商之一。
