processing algorithms..
2. System Description
Structure of the proposed endoscope system is divided into two
parts: the hardware and the software. The hardware is powered by
ARM Cortex A8 processor which acquires endoscope images from
a USB endoscope camera and displays them on a TFT LCD. The
software performs endoscope image processing, storing, and
management. The users interact with the control software through
the GUI on a touch-screen LCD.
Flash for saving images and data. Large memory enables to store
is very fitting for ENT applications. ENT images are captured from
Doctors and patients can easily observe the images for diagnosis
and treatment.

The libraries (OpenCV and V4L) are built for the system after
install embedded Linux for Mini210s board. OpenCV (Open
Computer Vision) which contributes an important part in
investigate and development of computer vision area, is developed
by Intel in 1993. OpenCV is an open source library, including 4
parts: CxCore, CV, HighGUI, CvCam which are over 500
commands total. OpenCV supports for many fields such as medical
V4L and V4L2 libraries which capture image data from ENT
camera.

5. Conclusion
In this paper, an ENT system based on FriendlyARM Mini210s
board and Embedded Linux was described. The system supports
various useful functions including ENT image capturing, patients
information management, image storing, and especially endoscope
image enhancement. The ENT doctors and patients can observe
ENT images in real time on LCD touch screen. The system is
portable, economic and ready to be applied at ENT clinics.
Furthermore, the proposed system supports physicians to diagnosis
ENT images at home or at remote locations which are far from
hospitals.
