Real-time image processing is a hot topic in image processing. The paper gives a real-time image processing solution using a video image processing chip based on USB2.0. It introduces the overall design framework of the system, and describes the core hardware implementation principle, then carries out a simulation utilizing several software simulation tools and in the end verifies on the platform Virtex-5 XC5VSX50T FFG1136. The results show that the solution could satisfy the practical requirements of real-time image processing.
