| About the book |
| Book description The book presents methods of acceleration of calculations in computer systems intended for the implementation of calculations related to the processing of large amounts of data on the example of vision systems. These methods concern the construction of specialized heterogeneous computing systems, with particular emphasis on computing units (processors) and their interconnection (architecture). Specialized VLSI processors and frame grabber modules with built-in computing functions are described. Due to the reprogramming possibilities of the systems, a way of implementing specialized hardware processors in FPGA programmable systems has been presented. Further possibilities of acceleration of calculations are related to the use of multiprocessor architectures of general purpose processors and DSP processors (as shown in the example of the multiprocessor module of DSP processors). New possibilities in the field of building computing platforms are related to reconfigurable programmable systems. Their application was discussed taking into account the computational efficiency of such solutions and the construction of universal CCM platforms. The latest development of VirtexPro programmable systems allows for full integration in a single system of multiprocessor heterogeneous architecture, because in addition to the resources of programmable logic, they also provide the PowerPC general purpose processor units. The full use of these opportunities was discussed, related to the design of systems using the CoDesin Hardware / Software method. The book is intended for engineers, doctoral students and students of fields of study: information technology, automation and robotics as well as electronics, as well as for those interested in the broadly understood field of signal processing.

The Wright brothers got it right. When these talented bicycle mechanics set out to build the world\'s first motor-driven, heavier-than-air airplane, they needed wings that could provide enough lift, yet be light and strong. They went with a biplane design, seen in early hang gliders. Biplanes have two fixed wings, one on top of the other, connected with supporting struts; the bracing permits a lighter wing structure. WWI flyers took to the skies in biplanes, and while the Red Baron is known for his iconic crimson triplane, most of his decorated combat career was spent in biplanes. Advances in aviation technology and materials made the biplane obsolete by the late 1930\'s, however, biplanes remain a fixture and fan favorite at airshows to this day. UGears 70159

The Clockwork Universe theory favored by 17th C deists held that the Earth and the heavens, and all their motions, were like a giant clock, with God as the Clockmaker. Newton\'s three laws of motion and the principle of universal gravitation were thought to be sufficient to explain phenomena of any kind, using mechanical conceptions. At Ugears we love mechanical conceptions! And so with a nod to Isaac Newton, we present the Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock, a fascinating combination of imaginative celestial observatory and functional table clock! UGears 70162

We know you love car modelling and you love the Ugears Dream Cabriolet, Roadster, and U-9 Grand Prix. Well, make room on the shelf, because a powerful new mechanical model just muscled its way into the Ugears Automotive collection. Introducing the Drift Cobra Racing Car, a beautifully-styled, two-seat convertible—our twist on what may be the most revered sports car of all time: the Shelby Cobra 427. The Cobra 427, produced between 1965-67, had a 7.0 litre 450-510 horsepower engine, did 0-60 mph in just over 4 seconds, and had a top speed of 185 mph. UGears 70161

Let\'s talk cars. Because cars are cool, and the coolest of the cool might be the sports coupe: a sleek and stylish two-door car designed for high performance and driving enjoyment. Often built with a low, wide profile, sports coupes typically feature a powerful engine, sport-tuned suspension, aerodynamic design, and other performance-enhancing features that prioritize speed, agility, and handling. You don\'t buy a coupe for its fuel economy or trunk space, you buy it because a) you love to drive, b) you want to make a statement, and c) the cool factor. And nothing is cooler on a car, or makes a bigger statement than gull-wing doors! UGears 70205

Imagine the future of space exploration with Ugears\' Manned Mars Rover, an all-terrain planetary explorer with 6x6 all-wheel drive, a cab for two astronauts, spring-driven motor, a swivel between cab and body, and fully-sprung independent suspension. This DIY model space rover has its front centerline pushed forward for better climbing and stability, front wheels that turn for maneuverability, and large diameter wheels to overcome obstacles while navigating the Martian landscape. A ramp folds down in the back, while a top-mounted dish antenna rotates 360° and can swivel up and down to transmit or receive signals to and from the base. UGears 70206
