Dynamical Multi-Context Reconfiguration Scheme for Recon-figurable Parallel Image Processing System with Three Dimensional Structure

摘要

This paper describes a new dynamical multi-context reconfiguration scheme for reconfigurable image processing architecture with three-dimensional structure. It can decrease the number of instructions between a reconfigurable processing element array and control RISC processor, and also enable efficient execution of various image processing functions. The proposed image processing system consists of image sensor, frame memory, the coarse-grain dynamically reconfigurable image processor and RISC processor for control and reconfiguration. The reconfigurable processor is tightly coupled with frame memory by using the three dimensional structure. It realizes a fully scalable parallel image processing architecture, which can achieve a high speed and flexible robot vision system.
