Development of image reconstruction using FPGA

Abstract

This paper presents the development of image reconstruction for optical tomography using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) board, DE0 Nano. This design eliminated the need of computer in image reconstruction stage. Therefore, this will simplify the overall design, where the image will be displayed on an Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) only and this could make the system more portable compare to the existing design of an optical tomography system. Experimental result shows that the developed system can process image in real time as the FPGA is a type of parallel computation controller.
