Prototyping Feed-Forward Artificial Neural Network on Spartan 3S1000 FPGA for Blood Type Classification

In this research, a Feed-Forward Artificial Neural Network design was implemented on Xilinx Spartan 3S1000 Field Programable Gate Array using XSA-3S Board and prototyped blood type classification device. This research uses blood sample images as a system input. The system was built using VHSIC Hardware Description Language to describe the feed-forward propagation with a backpropagation neural network algorithm. We use three layers for the feed-forward ANN design with two hidden layers. The hidden layer designed has two neurons. In this study, the accuracy of detection obtained for four-type blood image resolutions results from 86%-92%, respectively.
