FPGA Implementation of Reconfigurable Processor for Image Processing Application

Abstract In this research I have proposed the method of FPGA implementation of reconfigurable processor for image processing for medical, Photoshop and satellite application purpose. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology has become a viable target for the implementation of real time algorithms suited to video and image processing applications.In this project we are using the image processing application like Median filter, Erosion and dilation. Here the digital image is taken as the input that image is converted into gray scale image and creating header file with the help of Matlab. Header file mean that gray scale image is converted into pixel. After we are writing C code for median filter, erosion and dilation. For the embedding the header file and the C code we have used the Xilinx Platform Studio(XPS),after dumping into the FPGA kit with the help of JTAG and RS232 cable. The purpose of JTAG is at the time we can send data parallel into kit. The purpose of RS232 cable is at a time we can show data serially. The main purpose of this project is we are using Medical, Photoshop and Satellite application processes. Programmable Array Logic (FPGA) board had used to increase the capacity. we have selected the Spartan3EDK tool for the implementation purpose.
