ABSTRACT:
A system of reconfigurable pipelines of generalized neighborhood function morphic image processors provides image transformations. An input image pixel stream is provided to one or more reconfigurable processing element groups comprising reconfigurable delay RAMs, reconfigurable neighborhood function RAMs, and reconfigurable window selection switching in order to achieve general neighborhood window function morphic image transformations. The described arrangement is amenable to VLSI packing implementation without loss of the reconfigurability or flexibility of the morphic image processor.
