Color Camera Sensor Bayer Decoder

Today most common single-chip cameras use CMOS sensors with pixels arranged in Bayer color pattern. Bayer filter in front of the sensor embeds color information into sensor's pixels and each pixel is an actual monochrome color element. The CMOS sensor's output must be converted into a human-viewable picture by conversion from the Bayer image to an RGB image. The logiBAYER is designed to enable an easy video camera connection and video processing. Besides the Bayer conversion, the IP handles the camera's data link and automatically recognizes input resolutions. The core is fully embedded into Xilinx tools, and its integration with on-chip CoreConnect PLB and OPB busses is very simple. Parametrizable VHDL design allows tuning of slice consumption and features set through an easy-to-use GUI interface. The IP core can be easily integrated with other logicBRICKS, i.e. logiLENS Camera Lens Distortion Corrector and the logiCVC-ML Compact Multilayered Video Controller.
