Automatic Design of Image Operators Using Evolvable Hardware
نویسنده
چکیده
An original approach to automatic design of image operators is presented in this paper. The proposed solution employs evolvable hardware at simplified functional level and produces image operators (digital circuits), which can compete against traditional designs in terms of quality and implementation cost in Xilinx’s chips.

On Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...
متن کاملAutomata of Evolvable Computational Machines
Evolutionary algorithms (EA) were successfully applied to design of various computational machines in recent years. Some evolved designs have outperformed human designs especially in cases where no or weak design methodology is known for a given problem. Cellular automata [5] or digital circuits [6] are typical examples. In case of evolvable hardware, circuit implementation is usually evolved i...
متن کاملDigital Image Noise Filtering Using Evolvable Hardware
Images obtained through modern cameras may be infected by a range of noise sources, it may be the photon or a chip electronic noise and also by the distortion such as shading or improper lighting. The system should adapt to these changing environment autonomously. For example, to the changes of illumination or after replacement of a damaged camera, for this automatic design, a new technique is ...
متن کاملVirtual Reconfigurable Circuits for Real-World Applications of Evolvable Hardware
The paper introduces a new method for the design of realworld applications of evolvable hardware using common FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). In order to avoid “reconfiguration problems” of current FPGAs a new virtual reconfigurable circuit, whose granularity and configuration schema exactly fit to requirements of a given application, is designed on the top of an ordinary FPGA. As an ex...
متن کاملEasily Testable Image Operators: The Class of Circuits Where Evolution Beats Engineers
The paper deals with a class of image filters in which the evolutionary approach consistently produces excellent and innovative results. Furthermore, a method is proposed that leads to the automatic design of easily testable circuits. In particular we evolved “salt and pepper” noise filters, random shot noise filters, Gaussian noise filters, uniform random noise filters, and edge detectors.
