Binary image processing is a powerful tool in many image and video applications. This paper describes A reconfigurable processor for binary image processing. Reconfigurable binary image processing chips have been designed mainly for the binary image applications of a chip. The processor architecture is designed for input output control unit, reconfigurable binary processing module, and peripher...

This paper is concerned with a pipelined reconfigurable architecture for implementing image processing algorithms useful for robotic navigation. The computational complexity and the real-time application of these such algorithms suggest a custom hardware approach, but the wide quantity of different algorithms useful for different tasks suggest a software reconfigurable approach. In this way, a ...

High-speed reconfigurable processors incorporating a reconfigurable memory and microprocessor array into a chip have been developed [1]. Such devices use a context-switching method. Their internal reconfigurable memory includes reconfiguration contexts of 16 banks. One bank includes a reconfiguration context used for ALUs that can be changed to others on a clock in nanoseconds. These devices ha...

The emerging need for large amounts of flexible computational power on embedded devices motivated many researchers to incorporate reconfigurable logic together with an instruction-set-processor (ISP) into their architectures. This implies that tomorrow’s applications will make use of both the ISP and the reconfigurable logic in order to provide the user with maximum performance. Today, however,...

Reconfigurable computing is the application of adaptable fabrics to solve computational problems, often taking advantage of the flexibility available to produce problem-specific architectures that achieve high performance because of customization. Reconfigurable computing has been successfully applied to fields as diverse as digital signal processing, cryptography, bioinformatics, logic emulati...

Reconfigurable computing refers to the use of processors, such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), that can be modified at the hardware level to take on different processing tasks. A reconfigurable computing platform describes the hardware and software base on top of which modular extensions can be created, depending on the desired application. Such reconfigurable computing platforms can...

While reconfigurable computing was rather unknown several years ago, more recent projects have been established dealing with new directions of this topic. In fact, for particular application areas reconfigurable hardware has already proven to achieve a performance, which is superior to that of conventional processor solutions. Application development proceeds in moving out of its logic-design-o...
