A Hardware Architecture of Prewitt Edge Detection
Abstract-This paper presents an efficient hardware
architecture of Prewitt edge detection for high speed image
processing applications. The hardware design is implemented
by using Verilog hardware description language, whereas the
software part is developed by using Matlab. The zero
computational error analysis indicates that the proposed
architecture produces similar outputs with ideal result obtained
by Matlab software simulation. The architecture is capable of
operating at a clock frequency of 145 MHz at 550 frames per
second (fps), which implies that the system is suitable for both
image processing and computer vision applications.
