The continuous advancements in programmable device technologies enable the widespread use of FPGAs in an increasing number of industrial applications. The availability of powerful software design tools is a fundamental requirement to take advantage of the many advanced and specialized resources included in the latest devices. Although such tools exist, they are still far from guarantee first-time-optimized designs in many applications. This paper analyzes the application of two state-of-the-art FPGA design methodologies to an image processing system. The experimental results presented demonstrate that there is still much room left for experienced designers to enhance system performance.
