This paper presents an FPGA based real-time implementation of an adaptive speckle reduction algorithm. Applied to the log-compressed image of a high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) system, all related signal processing steps from envelope detection to VGA video signal generation are executed on a single chip. Images from measured OCT data show that the chosen algorithm produces a smooth, detailed image with fewer image artifacts than comparable approaches. An estimation of the hardware effort, the possible throughput rate and the resulting image frame rate is given for different window sizes used here in speckle reduction.Downloads
