The course provides a much-needed treatment on the implementation aspects of real-time image and video processing systems. It brings together in one place the guidelines, strategies and methodologies for taking an image or video processing algorithm from a research environment to real-time implementation on a resource constrained hardware platform. Carefully selected, relevant examples from the literature will be presented to illustrate the concepts. The participants will be introduced to a wide variety of strategies and tools which they can then use in designing a real-time image or video processing system of interest.
