What is a Vision Processor?
Vision processors feature powerful embedded processing architecture for real-time high-performance machine-vision applications. Combining high-speed image acquisition capability with user programmable FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) and graphical FPGA development tools, vision processors deliver unmatched power and flexibility in computer-intensive, real-time image processing on the PCIe platform.
Working as a team
Teledyne DALSA's Xcelera-CL VX4 and Sapera APF deliver a powerful, programmable, FPGA- (field-programmable gate array) based vision processor and integrated graphical FPGA development environment enabling users to adopt vision processors for a variety of high speed, computing intensive, real-time image processing applications.
| When do I need a Vision Processor? | |
| • When protecting a custom algorithm IP is paramount | • When a real-time, deterministic response is needed |
| • When the processing bandwidth is too high for a PC to handle | • When the system footprint must be reduced (e.g. multiple PCs are not an option) |
About Xcelera-CL
VX4
The Xcelera-CL VX4 series vision processors is the latest member of Teledyne
DALSA's award winning Xcelera family of frame grabbers and vision processors
and is based on the PCI Express x4 interface. Compatible with a Base,
Medium or Full Camera Link® camera, the Xcelera-CL VX4 Full supports
a wide variety of multi-tap area and line scan colour and monochrome cameras.
The Xcelera-CL VX4 Full, features FPGA hardware processing platform that
combines ACU (Acquisition Control Unit), DTE (Data Transfer Engine) and
IPU (Image Processing Unit) and state-of-the-memory architecture. As a
result, its powerful, user- programmable embedded processing architecture
is capable of handling variety of high-performance, complex, real-time
image-processing topologies including iterative processing loops.
While harnessing the power of field-programmable gate arrays the Xcelera-CL
VX4 is also accessible to non-FPGA experts and OEMs not only benefit from
the real-time execution capabilities of FPGA but also from IP preservation,
shorter development cycles and being able to leverage the simplicity of
a standard, off-the-shelf processing platform.
Although the FPGA technology provides the ability to adapt to a variety
of high-speed, computer-intensive and real-time processing applications,
the Xcelera-CL VX4 hardware design has been built using standard off-the-shelf
components with long term availability.

About Sapera
APF
Sapera APF is a powerful, yet easy-to-use Graphical FPGA Development
Environment for software and hardware engineers that simplifies traditional
FPGA development processes by combining a point and click graphical
interface with FPGA-based image-processing libraries.
While Sapera APF comes bundled with a bit-accurate software version
of the FPGA library functions for rapid functional simulation , it can
also automatically generate necessary infrastructure to call user-defined
functions using Sapera SDK allowing users to create, debug, and deploy
FPGA code without ever leaving the development GUI and so dramatically
improving ease-of-development and deployment time.
| Features and benefits | Sapera APF | |
| • Enables Real-time embedded image processing | • Rapid design implementation using Point & Click IDE | • Software-centric approach |
| • Extensive set of image processing functions for FPGA | • Bit-accurate software functions permit verification of algorithm behavior | • High-level behavioural simulation |
| • Seamless interface to Xilinx tools | • Automatic software interface generation for user-created hardware designs | • Fuly-automated design process interfaces to Sapera LT |
| • Verify disigns to cut down development time | • Design simple, single-pass or complex iterative algorithms |
