Canny Edge Detection using Verilog

Edge detection is one of the key stages in image processing and objects identification. The Canny Edge Detector is one of the most widely used edge detection algorithm due to its good performance. Edge detection carries preprocessing step for many image processing algorithms such as image enhancement, image segmentation, tracking and image/video coding. Canny’s edge detection algorithm that results in significantly reduced memory requirements decreased latency and increased throughput with no loss in edge detection performance as compared to the sobel algorithm. The proposed canny edge detection in verilog algorithm gives good localization. Here we are using matlab to convert image into text/ pixel value. Then we will apply verilog canny algorithm to text/pixel value, then we will get edged text/pixel value, that text will given to matlab and finally get edged output image.
