Title Design of a 2-D median filter with FPGA as an X-ray image processor
Supervisor Kabir, M. Z.
Description In a flat panel X-ray imaging system, during fabrication, defects can cause a number of different failure modes for pixels in the active matrix arrays which effects on the image quality. One of the main challenges is how to identify and relatively correct those pixels. The idea is to design a filter which can be a Median filter to do so. One of the best ways to process an image processing algorithm is to use FPGAs. In this project the group will study the basic knowledge of Image processing, FPGAs structures, hardware design language (VHDL) and work with soft wares such as ISE/Modelsim. The approach is to read an 8*8 image frame, identify the pixel(s) whose data value is above a threshold value and finally design a filter (median filter) to make the correction(s).
