Abstract

The present paper proposes an adaptive hardware implementation for a microarray image acquisition system, which is mandatory for implementing hardware algorithms for processing microarray images. Processing techniques for microarray image are also described, together with a hardware implementation of a spot border detection algorithm. The hardware implementation takes advantage of parallel computation capabilities offered by FPGA technology. Results which prove time and cost efficiency are presented for both hardware implementations.
