- On the implementation of the gamma function for image correction on a endoscopic cameraPublication . Mostafa, Sheikh Shanawaz; Sousa, L. Natercia; Ferreira, Nuno Fábio; Sousa, Ricardo M.; Santos, João; Dias, F. Morgado; Wany, MartinThis paper describes part of project that implemented the image processing of a CMOS sensor for endoscopic purposes. The sensor is a small sized device of 1x1mm2 and the image processing has been done inside a FPGA. This part of the work describes the implementation of the Gamma function with a balance between the resources needed and the accuracy. A linear piecewise solution was used that stores the values for 31 gamma functions with values ranging from 1 to 4 with 0.1 steps. The solution developed is 10 bit based, was coded in VHDL and is implemented in a Spartan 6 FPGA. The results show that it is an accurate solution that has a small footprint in terms of used resources.
