  Hardware/Software Co-Simulation of Gradient-based Edge Detectors: A Comparative Study

  By Kazi Ahmed Asif Fuad, Shahriyar Masud Rizvi

  Abstract: Edge detection, a segmentation technique, produces an edge map that contains important information about the image. We realized Gradient-based Edge Detection Algorithms in FPGA hardware utilizing Hardware-Software Co-Simulation with the help of Simulink (Mathworks) and System Generator (Xilinx). We explored and utilized different gradient based edge detection operators Sobel-Fieldman, Robert and Prewitt Operator. After comparative analysis, we found both Sobel and Robert operators among the best with hardware realization of …
