Abstract

Present day applications require various kinds of images and pictures as sources of information for interpretation and analysis. Whenever an image is converted from one form to another, such as digitizing, scanning, transmitting, storing, etc. , some form of degradation occurs at the output. Hence, the output image has to undergo a process called image enhancement which consists of a collection of techniques that seek to improve the visual appearance of an image. This work addresses the implementation of image enhancement algorithms like global contrast adjustment, local contrast adjustment and global histogram equalization on FPGA (using soft core processor) that have become a competitive alternative for high-performance image processing applications.
