FPGA implementation of edge detection using Canny algorithm

Abstract

In this paper we have implemented edge detection on a Real Time Image Capture. The video is captured via the Terasic 5MP camera and then interfaced with FPGA kit and the edge detected image is shown in VGA display. In addition, Canny Edge Detection algorithm is used to obtain the edge detected version of the RGB image captured by the interfaced camera. This algorithm provides low error rate as compared to the other edge detection algorithm. Our inspiration emerged from our enthusiasm towards machine vision and dynamics.
