In this paper, a modular, configurable and versatile hardware platform for real-time video and image processing is presented. The hardware platform is based on the Altera STRATIX development board which is completed with a Camera interface for video acquisition and a VGA interface for image restitution. The platform supports simultaneous HW/SW co-design and partitioning. The system main part is the Altera NIOS II soft core processor for data processing. During this study, we have used video sequences, which are acquired, processed and visualized while respecting temporal constraints. The whole of system was made under μClinux and was performed on the NIOSII soft core processor. Simulation and Synthesis results are presented and prove that
