I am currently doing a project about image processing. The image processing is i would like to perform is binarization and filtering. I want to create a RTL design for this. I know how to do the Control Unit. But having difficulties in datapath design.. I would like to know how to input an image in datapath unit. The image should be in what format? Lets say the image is in jpg or bmp should i convert it first? and can i use the two formats i mentioned to proceed with binarization and filtering? Please guide me... Thank you..
