Hardware Implementation of Bone Fracture Detector Using Fuzzy Method Along with Local Normalization Technique

Bone fracture detection from the digital image segmentation is a well-known image processing application which is frequently used to process biomedical images. Hardware realization of different image processing algorithm specially utilizing Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) has been gained a great interest among the researchers. FPGA has many significant features like spatial and temporal parallelism that best suits for real-time implementation of image processing. To gain the benefit from these characteristics of a FPGA, a new method for bone fracture detection is proposed and its performance is validated through real-time implementation. Simulation results show that the proposed method give superior performance than the existing method.
