Abstract:
This document introduces VYA, a procedure for video-oriented use of
YAPI, the Y-chart Application Programmer's Interface developed at
Philips Research Eindhoven for modeling and simulating signal
processing applications. VYA resulted from a cooperation between the
developers of YAPI and video algorithm developers at Philips Research
Briarcliff. VYA-compliant software modules are plugable by virtue of
standardized interfaces for video and control signals, while a high
level of re-usability is obtained through a carefully chosen
application of YAPI. VYA focuses on communicating rectangular images
in applications with YUV and/or RGB input and/or output.
