A high-speed image processing system using the TMS32010

Abstract

A system is described for enhancing the performance of an image processing framestore. It uses the Texas Instruments TMS32010 digital signal processor, and combines the virtues of fast execution time and ease of programmability, while in no way interfering with the ability of the host computer itself to access image data held in the framestore. Hardware and software aspects of the implementation are discussed, and the improvements in execution time obtained are described.
