Abstract

The paper presents an architecture and features of a hybrid software/hardware system aimed at acceleration of image processing. Special design methodology of the software layers has been undertaken to meet the requirements of hardware and software cooperation. The front end consists of a fixed software interface. On the other hand, implementation variability is embedded into the complementary software and hardware layers, from which the best implementation can be selected in run time. The basic properties of the system are presented with some applications and discussion of further steps.
