An architecture for real-time hardware co-simulation of edge detection in image processing using Prewitt edge operator
The edge detection algorithm usually applies in the first step of image process. This paper focused about edge detection algorithm implementing on FPGA using advanced design tool Xilinx System Generator. We proposed new edge detection image design for hardware co-simulation, applied Prewitt operator in design. Atlys kit is employed for hardware/software implementation. The cost-efficient hardware co-simulation is adopted to evaluate the real-time performance of an edge detection algorithm.
