Design of an image processing integrated circuit for real time edge detection

2003

Presents the design of a real time image processing micro-system to detect defects on manufacturing products. The analysis method is based on an edge detection algorithm (differential operators) to select the information related to the structure of the objects present in the image. The edge calculation function has been integrated in a standard cell circuit using a CMOS 1.5 mu m process. The ASIC has been implemented and tested in an image processing microsystem with a CCD camera. Results show an improvement of performances (speed, noise, size reduction system characterization, etc. . .) in comparison with the first prototypes (software implementation and printed board with standard compone…
