Abstract

A processor and associated methodology employ a SIMD architecture and instruction set to efficiently perform video analytics operation on images. The processor contains a group of SIMD instructions used by the method to implement video analytic filters that avoid bit expansion of the pixels to be filtered. The filters hold the number of bits representing a pixel constant throughout the entire operation, conserving processor capacity and throughput when performing video analytics.
