Also, it is demonstrated that Simulink can be employed as a co-design and co-simulation platform for rapid prototyping of Computer Vision HW/SW systems. To do this, a library of optimized image processing components based on XSG and Matlab has been developed and tested in hybrid schemes including HW and SW modules. As a part of the testing, results of the prototyping and co-simulation of a HW/SW Computer Vision System for the automated inspection of tangerine segments are presented. %K Tecnología Electrónica %K Image processing applications %K FPGA %K Prototyping %K Co-simulation %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
