The document discusses a project to implement computer vision algorithms using OpenCV on an FPGA. Specifically, it focuses on optimizing an image stitching algorithm to reduce processing time and improve quality. It identifies using an Intel Atom processor board paired with an AlphaData Kintex Ultrascale FPGA to maximize parallelization opportunities for image manipulation algorithms. The goal is to overcome speed limitations of the Intel Atom by offloading work to the FPGA, which will involve analyzing and optimizing the OpenCV stitching algorithm for parallel hardware implementation.
