Hardware Accelerator of Colour Conversion for JPEG algorithm

Cilj ovog završnog rada ubrzavanje je početne faze kompresijskog algoritma JPEG. U tu svrhu korišteni su alati tvrtke XILINX te razvojna pločica Zedboard. Kroz nekoliko poglavlja prikazani su koraci nastajanja rješenja te testiranje i uspoređivanje rezultata. U početnom poglavlju je pokazano kako funkcionira kompresijski algoritam kroz nekoliko koraka nakon čega su predstavljeni ključni pojmovi potrebni za razumijevanje problema. Središnji dio pokazuje kako je realizirano rješenje problema sklopovskog ubrzavanja u tri koraka korištenjem alata Vivado HLS, Vivado Design Suite te Vivado SDK. Na kraju dobiveno rješenje je testirano te su rezultati komentirani i prikazani u tablici i grafu.Main task of this paper is the acceleration of first stage of the JPEG compression algorithm. In that purpose tools made by XILINX company and Zedboard development board were used. Throughout the next few chapters, steps involving forming the solution for the problem, testing and comparing results have been displayed. In the initial chapter explanation of the compression algorithm work has been shown through a couple of steps after which key terms needed for the understanding of the problem have been introduced. The middle part demonstrated the realization of solving the colour conversion problem on hardware in three steps using Vivado HLS, Vivado Design Suite and Vivado SDK. At the end developed solution has been tested and the results were commented and displayed using a table and a chart
