The OpenVX standard has appeared as an answer from the computer vision community to the challenge of accelerating vision applications on embedded heterogeneous platforms. It is designed to leverage the computer vision hardware potential with functional and performance portability. As long as VIPE has a powerful model of computation, it can incorporate various other models. This allows to extend facilities of a language or framework that is based on the model to be incorporated with visual programming support and provide access to the existing performance analysis and deployment tools. The authors present OpenVX integration into the VIPE IDE. VIPE addresses the need to design OpenVX graphs in a natural visual form with automatic generation of a full-fledged program, shielding a programmer from writing a bunch of boilerplate code. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first use of a graphical notation for OpenVX programming. Using VIPE to develop OpenVX programs also enables the performance analysis tools.

Nowadays embedded systems are used in broad range of domains such as avionics, space industry, automotive, mobile devices, domestic appliances and so on. There is enormous number of tasks that should be solved using embedded systems. There are many tools and approaches that allow developing of software for domain area experts, but mainly for general purpose computing systems. In this article we propose the complex technology and tools that allows involving domain experts in software development for embedded systems. The proposed technology has various aspects and abilities that can be used to build verifiable and portable software for a wide range of embedded platforms.
