Abstract :
A parallel VLSI architecture for the computationally efficient implementation of the elementary 3-D geometrical transformations is introduced. The trivial entries in the elementary transformation matrices are exploited, so that the matrix-matrix products required for the Transformation Matrix computation, are replaced by corresponding operations of the complexity of a vector operation. Acceleration of 68% to 84% per elementary transformation is achieved, at minimal hardware cost
