Sammendrag
This paper proposes an implementation of a Richardson-Lucy (RL) deconvolution method to reduce the spatial degradation in hyperspectral images during the image acquisition process. The degradation, modeled by convolution with a point spread function (PSF), is reduced by applying both standard and accelerated RLdeconvolution algorithms on the individual images in spectral bands. Boundary conditions are introduced to maintain a constant image size without distorting the estimated image boundaries. The RL deconvolution algorithm is implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based Xilinx Zynq-7020 System-on-Chip (SoC). The proposed architecture is parameterized with respect to the image size and configurable with respect to the algorithm variant, the number of iterations, and the kernel size by setting the dedicated configuration registers. A speed-up by factors of 61 and 21 are reported compared to software-only and FPGA-based state-of-the-art implementations, respectively.
