Abstract

Convolution, one of the most widely used functions in early vision processing, is, at the same time, highly demanding in terms of computing power. This paper describes a dedicated coprocessor able to perform ID and 2D convolutions; the latter case is applicable only if the convolving bidimension- al filter is separable. Details concerning the main building blocks are given together with experimental results showing the overall performances of the system.
