Abstract(in English) The contour definition of an image is an important element in an image-processing problem. The contour definition is needed by embedded systems, such as mobile products. Embedded systems are no resources for a computer to implemented by a program like PC, but implemented by hardware is suitable. A dynamic contour model is listed to the typical algorithm of a contour definition, and it can be further divided into the Snake method and the Level-set method. While the automatic processing to topology change which cannot respond in Snake is possible for the Level-set method, it has the feature that calculation cost is high. In this paper, the simulation of the Two-Cycle Level-set method which made the Level-set method still more nearly high-speed is carried out by verilog description. The circuit scale at the time of hardware-izing, and cost and the hardware-ized validity are verified.
