Abstract
An example preprocessor circuit includes: a first buffer configured to store rows of image data and output a row thereof; a second buffer, coupled to the first buffer, including storage locations to store respective image samples of the row output by the first buffer; shift registers; an interconnect network including connections, each connection coupling a respective one of the shift registers to more than one of the storage locations, one or more of the storage locations being coupled to more than one of the connections; and a control circuit configured to load the shift registers with the image samples based on the connections and shift the shift registers to output streams of image samples.
