Implementation of Xilinx system generator based image processing algorithms through FPGA

Xilinx System Generator (XSG) integrates with MATLAB Simulink to build a complex system through Xilinx and Simulink blocks. This paper presents a hardware implementation of various image processing techniques to modify and extract the pixel information from various input images in run time. Complex coding strategies are eradicated with integrated system. The intricacy in structural design is reduced to a huge extent using Xilinx System generator. The reconfigurable attribute of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) bags the massive advantages in image processing like co simulating with selective pixel and verified on FPGA. Image processing algorithms explored in methodical manner by performing diverse operations like edge detection, and color enhancement, complement, contrast stretching etc. The proposed image processing techniques (IPT) intended for various applications. Dissimilar image processing techniques are processed by FPGA and displayed on Video Graphics Array (VGA). Image processing system is designed in XSG, hardware description language (HDL) like VHDL & Verilog code is generated by processing system by system generator token. Design is implemented on Artix-7 and targeted on Basys3 reconfigurable hardware (XC7A35T-1-CPG236C).
