Morphological Skeleton Extraction Hardware Based On Dsp And Fpga Technology

This paper introduces the basic theory of mathematical morphological and the technology of morphological skeletonizing based on hardware. As the development of great Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), It is a trend to replace traditional specific ASIC image processing chips using FPGA. At the same time DSP is prone to satisfy the demands of large operations, real-time and high transmitting rate when processing image. This paper gives two skeletonizing schemes using DSP and FPGA individually and also gives an appropriate scheme of DSP+FPGA for digital image processing. I have checked these schemes using EDA software of FPGA and DSP simulating platform, and I have realized above methods on DSP+FPGA platform. Finally I compared these schemes and drew a conclusion.
