Abstract

This paper considers the application of bio-inspired systems in the design of a novel and highly parallel image processing tool to detect edges within conventional grey-scale images. The aim of the work is to implement a new image processing architecture through evolvable hardware that is able to adapt according to the particular images encountered The simulation of such a system through the toe of evolutionary algorithms and genetic programming is demonstrated for rite conventional image processing operation of edge detection. Results al-e presented for this system and evaluated with respect to a conventional Sobel edge detector.
