Image Edge Detection Based on FPGA

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is an effective device to realize real-time parallel processing of vast amounts of video data because of the fine-grain reconfigurable structures. This paper presents a kind of parallel processing construction of Sobel edge detection enhancement algorithm, which can quickly get the result of one pixel in only one clock periods. The algorithm is designed with a FPGA chip called XC3S200- 5ft256, and it can process 1024×1024×8 Gray Scale Image successfully. The design can locate the edge of the gray image quickly and efficiently.
