Abstract

Abstract:
This paper presents a real time implementation of Run-Length Decode (RLD) using FPGA as
one of image decompression algorithms. The RLD algorithm is the decoder of the Run-
Length Encode. RLD can be implemented either on commercial DSP or as an ASIC but due
to the huge development in the FPGA field, it is recommended to use the FPGA technology.
The design steps from design entry to files which are needed for the download process are
developed. Also, the method of testing the downloaded design is explained.
