Implementing an image processing algorithm (or indeed any algorithm) on an FPGA, therefore,
consists of determining the underlying architecture of an algorithm, mapping that architecture onto the
resources available within an FPGA and finally mapping the algorithm onto the hardware architecture.
Unfortunately, there is very little material available to help those new to the area to get started. Even this
insight into the process is not actually stated anywhere, although it is implicitly followed (whether
consciously or not) by most people working in this area.
