Design and Simulation of Canny Edge Detection

Edge is one of the prominent features in the image processing applications. The edge detection algorithm is carried out by using different methods. Canny edge algorithm is one of the well known edge detection algorithm. In proposed design, the canny edge detection algorithm is designed in verilog and simulated using the MATLAB and Modelsim. The input image is converted to text/pixel values using MATLAB and is stored in a new text file. Verilog with test bench program is used to assign inputs, outputs and memory locations in the form of text file. In Verilog the neighbouring pixels are compared and the edge of the image is detected, edged text is stored in new text file. The MATLAB is used to convert the edged text/pixel values to edged image.
