2D Sharpening FIR Filter Design Example
This design example shows how to perform a two-dimensional finite impulse response (FIR) filtering operation on video stream data in DSP Builder. The model consists of an image stream source block, a 2D sharpening filtering block, and an image stream sink block. The image stream source block reads the input binary file and feeds the data stream to the 2D FIR filtering block. The image stream sink block writes the filtered data stream to an output binary file. The package also includes the utility to convert an avi video file format to and from a binary file format.
