Hello!
I have been playing with image processing on FPGA for some time now, and the results seem interesting (I am working mainly on image preprocessing and edge/corner detection algorithms). My main research platform was the S3BOARD from Digilent/Xilinx, but I got to the point, where RS232, or RS232 USB converters do not offer sufficient speed (imagine sending a 512x512 image to the board and then waiting for the results, even in grayscale). Therefore, I'd like to invest some money in a more advanced evaluation board. For now, the Virtex-4-based Video Starter Kit seems to be the most reasonable choice for me. Is anyone here using this kit? The opinions I have found while googling the net (like the one here:
