FPGA Implementation of Image Line Buffer to Split and reconstruct a 3x3 size of image pixel
FPGA Implementation of Image Line Buffer to Split and reconstruct a 3x3 size of image pixel with using FIFO Design | Image line buffers are used in several kinds of image processing applications, particularly where operations must be executed on a per-line basis in order to optimize efficiency. There are many typical applications associated with this technology, including real-time video processing, image filtering, edge detection, computer vision, memory optimization, parallel processing, compression algorithms, and medical imaging. In the context of image and video processing applications, the use of image line buffers may contribute to the optimization of operations when dealing with a continuous stream of frames processed in real time. In the context of image processing, convolutional processes are often used for tasks like as image filtering and blurring. These operations are typically carried out on a per-pixel basis, wherein the value assigned to each pixel is determined by the values of its adjacent pixels. The proposed structure was created using a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) based approach, aiming to decrease the number of logic sizes and complexity in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) design architecture. The conversion of design images to hexadecimal and hexadecimal to image format is accomplished using MATLAB GUI applications. These applications also facilitate the comparison of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) values. The internal architecture of the system is implemented using Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL). Additionally, the simulation is conducted using Modelsim. Furthermore, the system's performance parameters, including area, delay, and power consumption, are compared with those of the Xilinx Vertex-5 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).
