Overview

TES Warping Engine (http://tes-dst.com/tes-dst/index.php/graphics-rendering/warping-engine?innerpage_style=1) is a specialized IP core for arbitrary high-performance re-mapping of bitmaps from memory to memory. Applications are for example pre-warping for projection on head-up displays or fisheye-correction of camera images.The IP core adapts to different bus interfaces like AMBA APB and AHB/AXI as well as the Intel® Avalon bus interface at different bus width (e.g. 32, 64, 128 bits).

Features

Flexible color formats
Arbitrary mapping based on a output->input look-up table per pixel
Easy configuration via registers (less than 20 functional registers)
Highly-efficient compression algorithm for the mapping LUT
High-quality bilinear filtering applying 16x16 sub-pixel positions

Device Utilization and Performance

~7k LEs

Getting Started

The Warping Engine is included in the free-of-charge TES D/AVE HD evaluation kit: http://tes-dst.com/tes-dst/index.php/graphics-rendering/warping-engine?innerpage_style=1 (registration required).
