Design of a Model of a Reconfigurable Computing Environment for Determining Image Gradient Characteristics

Optoelectronics, Instrumentation and Data Processing Aims and scope

Abstract

A new approach to computing the gradient characteristics of a grayscale image as an array of features of an object of interest is considered. It is proposed to design a model of a reconfigurable computing environment that can simultaneously process each pixel of the source image in parallel mode and generate an array with gradient characteristics. Due to the architectural principles of model construction, the gradient is computed in a single clock cycle of the elementary calculator of the reconfigurable computing environment.
