AMD Ryzen AI Processes Color Images Efficiently

This session demonstrates multi-core color image processing on AMD Ryzen AI Phoenix using the IRON API, AIE API, and MLIR-based AI Engine toolchain. It implements RGB-to-grayscale (Gray=0.299R+0.587G+0.114B) fixed-point conversion, negative conversion, and programmable brightness scaling (0×–4×) across 16 AI cores with vectorized multiply-accumulate and right-shift normalization. The design produces overflow-safe 8-bit outputs suitable for real-time image pipelines.
