System-Level Hardware Implementation of Simplified Low-Level Color Image Descriptor

  • Conference paper
Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Computer Recognition Systems CORES 2013

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 226))

Abstract

The paper addresses the problem of Content-Based Image Retrieval implemented in hardware. The presented approach consists of a simplified low-level descriptor for color images and similarity measure that are implemented in a system-level C-based hardware description language ImpulseC. The floating to fixed-point data conversion has been applied and also some modifications, improving execution of loop instances parallely has been described. The descriptor has been implemented as a core in a NoC-based MPSoC. The results of the implementation in an FPGA has been provided.
