This paper deals with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based hardware Implementation of Infrared Image (IRI) enhancement of thermo graphic images. The image enhancement capabilities and properties of the transform are analyzed. The transform is capable to perform both a nonlinear and a shape preserving stretch of the image histogram. FPGA Implemented results compared with Matlab Experiments and comparisons to histogram equalization are conducted.
