Implementation of Image Processing Lab Using Xilinx System Generator

Abstract

The paper presents information on various image processing operations using Field Programmable Gate Arrays(FPGA). Processing of images on FPGA is complicated, since it needs separate architectures to process the image. To facilitate such operations, Matlab, Simulink and Xilinx system generator tools, which convert the image into suitable formats that are supported by FPGA, are used. XSG plays an instrumental role in generating VHDL/VERILOG code in tune with algorithms designed in Simulink. The generated code will be dumped into FPGA and then it performs operations on image.  Use of XSG in image processing effectively reduces total design time of a system. Keywords: Image,Simulink, FPGA.
