Abstract:
Image processing systems are characterized by very high computational demand caused by large amounts of data, short response times, and the complexity of image processing tasks. For these reasons, specialized hardware solutions based on multiple processing cores, complex interconnects, or custom hardware elements are used for image processing. Due to the complexity of the computational tasks, the complexity of the specialized hardware solutions is continuously increasing. Therefore, new design techniques that reduce the risk of lacks in the system design or of expensive design-to-implementation iterations are desirable. Test-driven Agile Simulation (TAS) is a general-purpose approach that combines novel model-based simulation and testing techniques to achieve an improved overall quality for the development process. In this paper, we present an application and extension of the TAS approach for the efficient design process of image processing systems.
