Warp Intel® FPGA IP
The Warp Intel FPGA IP is a highly optimized core for applying geometric corrections and arbitrary non-linear distortions to a real-time video stream of up to 3,840 x 2,160 pixels and up to 60 frames per second. Maximum image quality is achieved through per-pixel filtering with bi-cubic interpolation on full color resolution 4:4:4 video data at up to 10-bits per color plane. The Warp Intel FPGA IP is delivered with a set of software components including a software driver that configures and controls all of the necessary parameters of the IP, a warp data generator, and an example warp mesh generator. The software can be deployed on a Nios® II processor-based system or SoC (recommended).
