Image Processing and Recognition

Xilinx Automotive (XA) Platforms provide the low-cost digital signal processing, higher bandwidth and lower power required in high-volume driver assistance (DA) systems. Industry-leading devices deliver more raw DSP throughput than any other low-cost FPGA, outperforming other low-cost DSP families with parallel processing for image processing and recognition applications such as parking assistance, back-up monitoring, and lane departure warning.

Based on leading commercial Spartan® FPGAs, the XA product line sets new standards in DA systems with:

• High bandwidth to support camera systems requiring a minimum 30 frames/second throughput
• High I/O to logic ratio for superior pixel level image processing
• Scalability for multiple feature bundling and customization on a single platform
• Flexibility to upgrade and modify features in the field as standards evolve
