Abstract :
The authors propose a run-time re-configurable architecture for local neighborhood image processing. Discussion of how the new architecture can offer improved flexibility to the developer. The authors show that for a satellite image feature extraction application, our architecture, implemented on Stratix II and Virtex 2 field programmable gate arrays, achieves similar performance, hardware resource utilization, and throughput as fully pipelined systolic array architecture
