The image processing nowadays is a field in development, many image filtering algorithms are tested every day; however, the main hurdles to overcome are the difficulty of implementation or the time response in a general purpose processors. When the amount of data is too big, a specific hardware accelerator is required because a software implementation or a generic processor is not fast enough to respond in real time. In this paper optimal hardware implementation is proposed for extracting edges and noise reduction of an image in real time. Furthermore, the hardware configuration is flexible with the ability to select between power and area optimization or speed and performance. The results of algorithms implementation are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
