  • High-Speed Image Processing

    High-Speed Image Processing

    This was a cool project with 16 high-performance cameras. This was the development board but eventually it ended up as a handheld camera about the size of your cell phone that had 16 cameras. With one snapshot, the FPGA would construct all of those images into a extremely high resolution, high quality, huge image.
