AN FPGA IMPLEMENTATION OF PARALLEL 2-D MRI IMAGE FILTERING ALGORITHM USING QUARTUS-II

In implementing parallel multi-dimensional image filtering algorithms, field programmable gate array (FPGA) provide beyond the low-level line-by-line hardware description language programming. High level abstract hardware-oriented parallel programming method can structurally bridge this gap. Currently, power is a major factor for implementing any algorithm. In this paper, image filtering algorithm is implemented on cyclone-IV FPGA device. By this, lower power consumption of 0.97W down to 0.39W respectively at maximum sampling frequency of up to 230 MHZ .the functional implementation of all processes using verilog HDL code of FPGA has been compiled on Quartus-II software tool.
