Abstract :
In order to implement the upcoming digital image processing algorithms and to process the amount of data captured from sources such as medical instruments, intelligent high speed real-time systems have become imperative. In this paper an efficient FPGA-based design and implementation of image processing algorithm are presented using hardware description language. The FPGA provides the necessary hardware for image processing algorithms with flexibility to support medical image processing by using point operations. The proposed pseudo-color algorithm is designed using Verilog HDL, simulated, tested and synthesized with Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.5.
