Implementation of Efficient Image Processing Algorithm on FPGA

FPGA is most popular for accelerating image processing due to its flexibility and parallelism. An efficient image processing algorithm (C3 - Algorithm) is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm detects objects accurately from a reference image irrespective of background while at the same time eliminating the background. The main objective of proposed system is to track objects accurately irrespective of background. The system uses Xilinx´s Virtex-5 FPGA, a VMOD TFT board, and a C3088 camera module having CMOS image sensor which eliminates the use of frame grabber. The proposed Algorithm has been compared with Histogram and Correlation Algorithm in MATLAB and better results are obtained in terms of pixels matching and time of execution.
