Traditional software-based approaches on CPUs face significant bottlenecks when processing high-resolution images in real-time due to sequential execution constraints. This case study explores <span class="font-semibold text-tech-700">Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)</span> as an alternative computational platform, leveraging their inherent <span class="font-semibold text-fpga-700">parallel processing capabilities</span> and hardware reconfigurability to achieve deterministic low-latency performance.
