Sobel edge detector is an algorithm commonly used in image processing and computer vision to extract edges from input images using derivative of image pixels in x and y directions against surrounding pixels. Most artificial intelligence and machine learning applications require image processing algorithms running in real time on hardware systems like field-programmable gate array (FPGAs). They typically require high throughput to match real-time speeds and since they run alongside other processing algorithms, they are required to be area efficient as well. This article proposes a high-speed and low-area implementation of the Sobel edge detec-1056
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
