Image Processing with DE1

Hello,

My University here in Ecuador just got a new DE1 development kit with a Cyclone II. I'm completely new with programming FPGAs. My interest is designing a project for edge detection in real time with the Terasic TRDB_D56M camera. I am wondering what to use, which is the correct path to follow, using SOPC builder or just creating the code in Verilog? I have Quartus II Web Edition without a license; I have just the free version.

Thanks for your help!

    I'll recommend to you download edge detector example from altera in which you can see an implementation of Prewitt edge detector for image processing developeed using DSP Builder under Simulink

    There is some software like CODeveloper Universal.. this tool gives C code conversion to HDL.

    I tried it and works fine, but there is some disadvantages but other options overcomes it.

    This software quite nice it can generate code that can be connected to NIOS processor.. anyway try yourself:) I saw there an example of edge detector in Codeveloper Template projects.. it is very simple.
