Hardware implementation of microarray image segmentation

The present paper proposes an acquisition system for microarray image on an FPGA based platform, together with a hardware implementation of image segmentation for cDNA micro-array images. The hardware implementation takes advantage of parallel computation capabilities offered by FPGA technology.
