Abstract

A programmable general purpose digital image processing circuit incorporates pipeline image processing architecture including one or more pipeline processing chains for making image processing computations, each chain comprising a serial connection of a convolution (CONVOL) unit, logic (LU) unit, morphological (MORPH) unit and look-up table (LUT) unit, which enables the greatest number of processing operations to be performed within the shortest possible overhead time.
