Abstract
Intelligent and adaptive in-vivo, catheter-based imaging systems with enhanced processing and analytical capability have the potential to enhance surgical operations and improve patient care. The paper describes an intelligent surgical imaging system based on a ‘chip on tip’, which reduces the need for conventional imaging. The associated embedded system provides real-time, in-vivo imaging analysis and data display for surgeons, enhancing their ability to detect clinically significant tissue. The paper presents initial work on an field programmable gate array implementation of a contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization algorithm, Hessian matrix construction and region of interest function on the AMD-Xilinx’s Kria KV260 board. It outlines optimizations undertaken to reduce the BRAMs by 38%, DSP48 blocks by 80%, flip-flops by 33% and LUTs by 36%, thus creating a design operating at 121 FPS.
