  In SPring-8, various CCD cameras have been utilized for electron beam diagnostics of accelerators and x-ray imaging experiments. PC-based image processing systems are mainly used for the CCD cameras with Cameralink I/F. We have developed a new image processing system based on MicroTCA platform, which has an advantage over PC in robustness and scalability due to its hot-swappable modular architecture. In order to reduce development cost and time, the new system is built with COTS products including a user-configurable Spartan6 AMC with an FMC slot and a Cameralink FMC. The Cameralink FPGA core is newly developed in compliance with the AXI4 open-bus to enhance reusability. The MicroTCA system will be first applied to upgrade of the two-dimensional synchrotron radiation interferometer[1] operating at the SPring-8 storage ring. The sizes and tilt angle of a transverse electron beam profile with elliptical Gaussian distribution are extracted from an observed 2D-interferogram. A dedicated processor AMC (PrAMC) that communicates with the primary PrAMC via backplane is added for fast 2D-fitting calculation to achieve real-time beam profile monitoring during the storage ring operation.
