Abstract

Today, skin cancer is a serious health problem and the quest for a correct clinical diagnosis has been an ongoing concern for dermatologists and for many researchers an important field study. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology has become a key part of the current movement towards innovation. It provides a viable target for applying image processing algorithms. It presents a viable target for the implementation of algorithms suited to image processing even under real-time requirements, because of their flexibility and great potential. FPGAs have shown very high performance in spite of their low operational frequency and high parallelism in applications. In this paper, an embedded Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) implementation based on FPGA is proposed to manage the image data efficiently and fastly. We describe the implementation of CBIR in image processing applications using FPGA. The main aim behind this implementation is to reach minimum timing by the maximum utilization of resources. We are conducting a study on the advantages of this embedded approach and discussed its effectiveness for a set of benchmark images publically available dataset PH2. The FPGA-based implementation shows the feasibility of the proposed methodology. The functional implementation of all processes using the Verilog code of FPGA has been compiled on the ALTERA QUARTUS-II software tool.
