Summary
In actual electronic industry scenario the design of more complex systems leads engineers to explore new design paradigms both in terms of hardware and software solutions. In this thesis, the application of novel hardware paradigms are considered. In the context of image signal processing (H.264/AVC video encoding and Retinex image filtering) ASIPs emerge as optimal hardware computing solution to achieve better trade-off between performance and flexibility respect to previous ASIC, DSP solutions. Network on chip emerges as the future on-chip communication hardware for multicore System on chip.
