Abstract

FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is utilized to realize the image segmentation. We describe a newfangled method for segmentation of 2-D imagery that uses resource optimized adaptive median filter for image enhancement. A pipelined implementation on FPGA for this algorithm is designed. Sobel operator is used for edge detection. Processed results of test images are presented to illustrate the performance capabilities of the proposed method. Comparison table and resource summaries are provided.

Keywords

FPGA, Image Segmentation, Sobel-Operator, Median, Adaptive Median Filter (AMF).
