Abstract

Input image data having a plurality of pixel values represented in a two-dimensional matrix form of columns and rows is received. The input image data is transformed into a plurality of input rows. The pixel values in each input row correspond to the pixel values in a predetermined subset of the columns of the input image data and all of the rows of each column of the subset of columns. A plurality of subsets of pixel values in the plurality of input rows is determined. The number of pixel values in each row of a subset of pixel values equal in number to a number of filter values in a filter. Each input row of each subset of pixel values is convolved with the filter values of the filter to determine a corresponding output value and stored in a memory.
