Optimized Approach of Sobel Edge Detection Technique Using

Xilinx System Generator
Abstract:
In this paper a new method is utilized in which sobel X-Y edge detection combines with
Gaussian filter using histogram stretching method. In recent days, the edge detection techniques
come to the picture with a very important utilization in medical industry to detect tumors and
fractures in the human body. So In this paper we firstly propose a new optimized edge detection
technique which is a better edge detection technique so far in our knowledge in terms of
improved mean square error( MSE) and picture signal to noise ratio ( PSNR) using very limited
resources used in the SPARTAN 3A DSP 3400A development platform FPGA kit.

Existing Method:
A optimized edge detection is here in which the Image is applied to a histogram
stretching algorithm before Applying to the Gaussian filter to remove the noise as it may create
unwanted edges in the output image and masking operation with suitable filter masks as per the
5x5 Filter Mask.

Proposed Method:
The proposed system provides coefficients for an Edge, Sobel X, and Sobel Y, Sobel XY, Blur, Smooth, Sharpen, Gaussian, or Identity Filtering can be accessed .For Filtering
operation the delay is Created by 5x5filterblock to avoid this error, the system Generator has to
clocked5 times faster than the normal clock. In this paper we firstly propose a new optimized
edge detection technique which is a better edge detection technique so far in our knowledge in
terms of improved mean square error( MSE) and picture signal to noise ratio ( PSNR) using very
limited resources used in the SPARTAN 3A DSP 3400A development platform FPGA kit.
