Among the many possible solutions, implementation on reconfigurable systems (e.g. FPGAs) provides the opportunity to achieve compactness, high processing efficiency and low power consumption.</div>The execution of algorithms in reconfigurable logic proceeds differently than in General Purpose Processors. High processing efficiency is achieved when the pixel stream is continuously processed in successive simple computational elements implemented in reconfigurable logic. The need to save partial results to memory is greatly reduced. According to Flynn's Taxonomy, such a computing system architecture is classified as MISD (multiple instruction stream single data stream). In reconfigurable logic, instead of executing code instructions in the CPU, a sequence of simple computational elements is built that perform subsequent calculations. Since the video signal is transmitted as a data stream from an image sensor (or a video camera), the MISD architecture is well suited for its efficient processing.<br>Despite some difficulties and limitations, a great number of image processing algorithms and methods have been implemented in FPGAs over the years i.e.: image enhancement, image analysis, background generation, tracking, compression and video coding, recognition algorithms - classic and those using artificial intelligence. Our recent research has shown that also the data stream obtained from event-based cameras can be effectively processed in the FPGA.<div><br></div><div>Bio: </div><div>Prof. Marek Gorgon received MSc (1988), Ph.D.(1995) and D.Sc. (2007) from AGH University of Krakow, Poland. He has been employed since 1994 in a permanent position at the Department of Automatics and Robotics of AGH, currently as the Full Professor. He has held research internships at several European universities in Germany, Italy, Denmark and Portugal.<br>Since 2020 has served as Vice-Rector for Science, having previously headed the Department of Automation and Robotics at AGH University. From 2012 to 2020 he was a member of the AGH University Senate. <br>His research interests include: image processing, software–hardware codesign, reconfigurable devices, embedded systems and applications. His research focused on the vision system architectures, with a particular attention to real-time systems and FPGA reconfigurable architectures. <br>He is a member of the Committee on Automation and Robotics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, a member of the international scientific team of the ALICE High Energy Physics Experiment at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland), a member of scientific societies and steering or scientific committees of many international conferences in his field of interest (FPL, ARC, DASIP) and IEEE Senior Member. He has written two scientific monographs and is the author of 250 scientific publications.<br><div><br></div></div><div>Sidebar sign ups:<br></div><div><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oWmNe4GpCBHOutVzrZIRjLQaYbPSf6chIuaVYWz1F0s/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oWmNe4GpCBHOutVzrZIRjLQaYbPSf6chIuaVYWz1F0s/edit?usp=sharing</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
