FPGA based connected component labeling
Dae Ro Lee, Seunghun Jin, Pham Cong Thien, Jae Wook Jeon · 2007
Connected component labeling is very useful for separating object and background, and counting objects. The sequential processing architecture proposed by Von Neumann has limits in real-time processing when large data is treated. In this study, a connected component labeling system using parallel hardware architecture is implemented. This system is able to calculate over 200 frames per second (fps) and is labeled a maximum of 255 components. This is a stand-alone system that can receive input image data from a camera and display the resulting image through a monitor.
