Abstract
A high speed image processing apparatus is created through the use of cascaded elongated filters. The processing speed of the filters is kernel size insensitive, enabling use of general purpose computing facilities to process high resolution, monochrome, and multi-spectrum images. Elongated filters described include both linear and non-linear filters. Very large kernel and multi-dimensional image processing is accomplished with reduced complexity and portable programming instructions.
