  problem:
    "Built a real-time video processing pipeline on an FPGA that captures live camera input and renders processed output over VGA, selectable filters operating at pixel rate with no inter-stage frame buffers.",
  approach:
    "Designed each filter as a streaming VHDL block with a small line-buffer for neighbourhood ops. Composed binary thresholding, morphological erosion / dilation, Sobel edge detection, grayscale conversion, and negative transformation into a switchable pipeline. Drove the VGA timing controller from a dedicated pixel clock; kept hsync/vsync derived from the same counter to avoid metastability.",

  result:
    "Live filter switching at 60 Hz, no dropped frames, sub-frame latency. The composition is modular, new filter blocks slot in by matching the streaming interface contract.",
