This work presents a virtual prototyping design approach for a fast area-based image stitching algorithm. The structure of virtual hardware obtained from virtual prototyping corresponds to that of the conceptual algorithm; that is, the actual circuit components including the memory, logic gates, and arithmetic units are linked to the conceptual algorithm blocks. Using the proposed method, the overall structure, hardware size, and computation time of the actual hardware can be estimated at the early design stage. As a result, the virtual hardware facilitates the hardware implementation by eliminating trial design and redundant simulation steps to optimize the hardware performance. To verify the feasibility of the proposed method, the virtual hardware of an image stitching algorithm is realized, and the hardware size and the computation time are estimated. In addition, the image stitching algorithm uses binary image comparisons and image scaling, which can eliminate huge multipliers and adders in the actual hardware. Thus, the proposed algorithm can lead to reduced hardware size and faster computation time. Results show that, with a clock frequency of 250 MHz, the estimated computation time of the proposed virtual hardware is 0.877sec to stitch two 1280×1024 images, which is one-tenth of the time required by the software-based image stitching algorithm realized in MATLAB. The estimated size of the virtual hardware showed memory size of 66.4 Mbits and gate count of 874 gates.
