An Embedded Infrared Image Enhancement System Based on DSP and FPGA

Abstract:

According to the disadvantage of the large noises of histogram equalization algorithm, a new adaptive image enhancement algorithm is presented. First, the statistical histogram of the infrared image is done. Then the threshold of plateaus Equalization is calculated and the statistical histogram is modified. Finally the bright values of the pixels of the image are changed. An embedded high speed image enhancement processing system on high performance DSP TMS320DM642 and FPGA was designed. Experimental results with real images shown that the system can improve the contrast of the infrared image, limit the noises of the enhancement image, and effectively enhance the infrared image, the running time of the program is shorter, so it can meet the requirements of real-time in the project.
