Image Fusion of 2 video Sensors with DE2-70

Hello,

Currently I am looking for a small system that could merge two camera images (IR and visual Image) and show the whole to a display.

That's how I found the product "de2-70" from Terasic

Could someone here tell me if i can realize my Application with this Board and where can i find similar applications or demo.

Thank you

    It depends how what formula you intend to use to do the fusion.

    At a most basic level, you can just do (A+B)/2. You could do this on any board.

    If you want to get more complicated with filters, then you will need to say what filters you want.

    thank you Tricky,

    for the fusion i would use the formula (A+B)/2, i could also calibrate te 2 video sensors but more i think not. I have choiced the DE2-70 because i can use the 2 Video inputs and the 1 Video out(VGA) for my application, and this board is very flexible for other applications.

    Now i need to have opinion about this Board and demo example.

    thank for Help

    hi!

    i am also working for a similar project with DE2-70 board. i need two video input and one video output for my project want to switch video sources and also display two video frame by frame on the same screen.

    i used DE2-70_TV demo for the first video source and applied for the second source. And combine these two video blocks. But there is some problems i couldn't solve. In my solution, the two blocks use the same PLL and iTD1_CLK and iTD2_CLK are being switcehed by this PLL .

    THe blocks are working when i used seperately. But it doesn't work when i combine these two blocks? If you have any improvement in your project can you share with me?
