Abstract

This paper proposes the technique of storing of image data in the FPGA memory and subsequent processing of the stored image data using MicroBlaze processor core of the Xilinx FPGA device. Though related research work exists in processing image data using DSP blocks available in FPGA devices but very little work exists in processing the same using FPGA based processor core. This type of design is extremely important for real time embedded system design for image processing applications. Our work deals with the inversion of a binary image in the FPGA memory and the recovery of the inverted image into its original form for verification of the inversion process. We have used the Xilinx EDK 11.1 tool, Spartan 3E FPGA kit and MATLAB is used for pre and post processing of the image data.
