A reconfigurable general framework for pipelined image processing: A color mathematical morphology application

摘要

In this paper a reconfigurable general framework for pipelined fast image processing is presented The system is capable of processing, in real time, video with resolution of 640×480 pixels at the speed of 60 frames per second. The video is supplied to the framework by means of a color video camera. As an application of the framework, the basic operators of mathematical morphology are implemented on the RGB color space. The processed images can be displayed by any display system compatible with the standard composite video. The results obtained using the developed framework are compared with a Matlab implementation.
