Popis: This work proposes dedicated hardware to real-time cancer detection using Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). The presented hardware combines a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) with Digital Image Processing (DIP) techniques. The DIP techniques are used to extract the features from the analyzed skin, and the MLP classifies the lesion into melanoma or non-melanoma. The classification results are validated with an open-access database. Finally, analysis regarding execution time, hardware resources usage, and power consumption are performed. The results obtained through this analysis are then compared to an equivalent software implementation embedded in an ARM A9 microprocessor.
