The traditional methods to implement image processing are either using general programmable digital signal processor (DSP) based instruction or using dedicated signal processing chips. The dedicated chips can deal with tasks they are designed for efficiently, but with others tasks their performance dropped very mich. The general processors have high flexibility but low performance. In many designs, we usually take multi-DSP system to attain the high performance and flexibility but we must face the complex software task on multi-processor system. In this paper, we introduce the concept and advantage of reconfigurable technology. Then we analyzed the real-time requirements of some image-processing algorithms.
