Presented in this paper is a new hardware architecture of the adaptive vector median filter (AVMF). The suggested structure yielded important values in impulsive noise removal from color images while preserving their fine details. The software (SW) study of this filter demonstrated that its implementation is too complex. To overcome this limitation, some approximations using a ROM memory were proposed to perform the square root for a hardware (HW) implementation. Comparative results between the ideal and approximated SWs of the AVMF showed a relative error equal to 0.01%. Then, sequential and parallel HW architectures were developed for this filter based on the approximated method. Finally, the validation of these architectures was conducted using an field-programmable gate array (FPGA) platform on an HW/SW environment. The validation results demonstrated that the proposed HW/SW implementation of the AVMF can speed up the execution time 180 times in the worst case at 140 MHz compared to the SW solution as well as preserving a high data quality (same image quality).

自适应向量中值滤波器的新硬件架构和硬件/软件环境中的验证

本文介绍了一种新的自适应向量中值滤波器 (AVMF) 硬件架构。建议的结构在从彩色图像中去除脉冲噪声方面产生了重要的价值，同时保留了它们的精细细节。该滤波器的软件 (SW) 研究表明其实现过于复杂。为了克服这个限制，提出了一些使用 ROM 存储器的近似值来执行硬件 (HW) 实现的平方根。AVMF 的理想和近似 SW 之间的比较结果显示相对误差等于 0.01 %. 然后，基于近似方法为该滤波器开发了顺序和并行硬件架构。最后，在硬件/软件环境中使用现场可编程门阵列 (FPGA) 平台对这些架构进行了验证。验证结果表明，与 SW 解决方案相比，在 140 MHz 的最坏情况下，所提议的 AVMF 的 HW/SW 实现可以将执行时间加快 180 倍，并保持较高的数据质量（相同的图像质量）。
