Canny Edge Filter o Full Programmable 5x5 Filter Kernel Many different filters can be programmed in to the FPGA. NET is offering a filter programming template on request to help the customer to build his own filter kernel. Processing Capabilities In most cases the hardware characteristics of an FPGA applied in a camera limit the application possibilities of the camera. -
Page 62: Frame Buffer Options
Frame Buffer Options Each GigEPRO camera collects frames from the image sensor in an internal frame buffer before sending the data via Gigabit Ethernet to the host PC. Frames are send either immediately after being completely captured or the delivery to the host is based on internal camera events or SW control. While capturing data without automatically sending them to the host the internal memory will be used as a ring-buffer storing all captured frames until the ring-buffer is completely filled. -

Page 65: Figure 31: Image Processing With Control Loop
Figure 31: Image Processing with control loop Micro Controller Cycle Budget Each user task is given a time budget provided by the internal micro-controller scheduler. The scheduler will ensure the proper execution of the “host to camera” communication including execution of the higher layer GigE Vision protocol layers first. - Page 66 The development of the micro-controller firmware uses a gnu tools chain and programming in plain C. NET provides a library binary for hardware access functions, i.e. for the access of the external EEPROM (max. 8192 bytes) for storage of user settings, and for the access of the external FLASH for storage of customer settings of larger sizes (up to 2 Mbit).
