Gabor filter based Image segmentation for Disease Detection using VHDL

Abstract

Diseases detected in early stage can be cured easily. Image segmentation is a process which segments an image and produces information to analyse tumor in an image. Existing segmentation methods consume more time to analyse the image and detect the tumor. In our paper we used Xilinx core IP generator along with MATLAB to simplify a complex image and extract useful information from an image to detect the tumor. By using Gabor filter with CORDIC algorithm, the storage memory reduces; speed of data rate increases and noise is removed from the image. By obtaining. coe file from Xilinx and applying to MATLAB will give the percentage of tumor in the image.
