title = "A generic FPGA-based detector readout and real-Time image processing board",
abstract = "For space-based astronomical observations, it is important to have a mechanism to capture the digital output from the standard detector for further on-board analysis and storage. We have developed a generic (application-wise) field-programmable gate array (FPGA) board to interface with an image sensor, a method to generate the clocks required to read the image data from the sensor, and a real-Time image processor system (on-chip) which can be used for various image processing tasks. The FPGA board is applied as the image processor board in the Lunar Ultraviolet Cosmic Imager (LUCI) and a star sensor (StarSense)-instruments developed by our group. In this paper, we discuss the various design considerations for this board and its applications in the future balloon and possible space flights.",
