Item 3D EM/MPM MEDICAL IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING AN FPGA EMBEDDED DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION(2011-08) Liu, Chao; Christopher, Lauren; Rizkalla, Maher E.; Salama, PaulThis 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.
