On VLSI array architectures for digital image processing

VLSI device technology offers a tremendous computing capacity, , programming flexibility, high speed, desirable precision and low power, and VLSI circuit design technique is well supported by of many existing modern CAD tools and software packages. The emergence of such integrated VLSI technology and design technique represents a new opportunity for a digital hardware revolution in image/vision processing systems. For a cohesive design of VLSI image array processors, a cross-disciplinary study on application, algorithm, and architecture is necessary, for this purpose, this paper discusses the algorithm analysis, architecture design and technology evaluation pertinent to VLSI design for image processing systems.
