3D EM/MPM MEDICAL IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING AN FPGA EMBEDDED DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis presents a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based embedded
system which is used to achieve high speed segmentation of 3D images. Segmenta-
tion is performed using Expectation-Maximization with Maximization of Posterior
Marginals (EM/MPM) Bayesian algorithm. In this system, the embedded processor
controls a custom circuit which performs the MPM and portions of the EM algorithm.
The embedded processor completes the EM algorithm and also controls image data
transmission between host computer and on-board memory. The whole system has
been implemented on Xilinx Virtex 6 FPGA and achieved over 100 times improvement
compared to standard desktop computing hardware.
