Today, skin cancer is a serious health problem and the quest for a correct clinical diagnosis has been an ongoing concern for dermatologists and for many researchers an important field study. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology has become a key part of the current movement towards innovation. It provides a viable target for applying image processing algorithms. It presents a viable target for the implementation of algorithms suited to image processing even under real-time requirements, because of their flexibility and great potential. FPGAs have shown very high performance in spite of their low operational frequency and high parallelism in applications. In this paper, an embedded Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) implementation based on FPGA is proposed to manage the image data efficiently and fastly. We describe the implementation of CBIR in image processing applications using FPGA. The main aim behind this implementation is to reach minimum timing by the maximum utilization of resources. We are conducting a study on the advantages of this embedded approach and discussed its effectiveness for a set of benchmark images publically available dataset PH2. The FPGA-based implementation shows the feasibility of the proposed methodology. The functional implementation of all processes using the Verilog code of FPGA has been compiled on the ALTERA QUARTUS-II software tool.

“…Lately, there have been several texts (Li & Chu, 1997;Nelson, 2000;Yasri et al, 2009;Mehra & Verma, 2012;Nosrat & Kavian, 2012;Sanduja & Patial, 2012;Singh et al, 2012;Umar et al, 2012;Bhagat et al, 2015) written on hardware-based Sobel implementations on FPGAs using VHDL (Ashenden, 2008) or Verilog. However, nearly all of these advocate the use of calculating the gradient magnitude by obtaining the sum of the absolute values of the gradient in both the horizontal and vertical directions.…”

The majority of imaging systems are software based; they require some kind of microprocessor or microcontroller for the imaging algorithms to run. As the speed requirements of imaging and communications systems increase, the need for more hardware-based imaging systems arises. These fully hardware systems solve the fundamental problem inherent in software-based solutions, in which the speed of the algorithms depend on the instruction cycle speed of the processor. Once an algorithm is designed directly on hardware, the speed of the algorithm depends on the system clock frequency and the propagation delays of the logic cells (or standard cells) used in the design, usually measured in nanoseconds per cell. Therefore, such systems no longer depend on any instruction cycle delays, as there is no microprocessor involved. Most modern imaging and communications systems rely on digital signal processing (DSP) to compute complex mathematical operations. The emergence of powerful and low-cost field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices with hundreds of arithmetic multipliers has enabled the development of many such DSP hardware applications, traditionally implemented only as software solutions.

Özetçe-Genel bir yaklaşımla sayısal görüntü verilerinin analizi olarak tanımlanabilen görüntü işleme, birçok adımdan oluşmaktadır. Bunlardan biri olan kenar belirleme, farklı operatörler kullanılarak gerçekleştirilebilmektedir. Temel bir kenar belirleme operatörü olan Sobel operatörü, yüksek gürültü seviyelerinde daha az bozulma özelliğinden dolayı tercih edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Sobel operatörü ile kenar belirleme işlemi, donanım tabanlı olarak FPGA üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sistem tasarımı için IEEE 754-1985 kayan noktalı sayı standardı ve VHDL donanım tanımlama dili kullanılmıştır. Çalışma frekansı 160 MHz olarak tasarlanan sistemde Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA çipi kullanılmıştır. Sistemin başarım ölçütü için donanım istatistikleri değerlendirilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler -FPGA; sayısal görüntü işleme; kenar belirleme; Sobel operatörü; VHDL.Abstract-Image processing can be defined as analysis of the images consists of the several steps. The edge detection process that is one of these steps can be performed using a variety of operators. Sobel edge detection operator, is a basic operator, is preferred to use with high noisy images because its corruption is insensible on images. The proposed work presents an edge detection algorithm using Sobel operator based on FPGA architecture. Proposed system is designed using IEEE 754-1985 floating-point standard and VHDL hardware description language. Design is synthesized for Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA chip with 160 MHz operating frequency. The performance is decreed according chip statistics.
